Support the growth of the team through knowledge sharing, code review, and mentoring of junior analysts
Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Bachelor's degree required
2+ years of experience with data analytics
Advanced working SQL knowledge and experience with relational databases and query authoring, plus working familiarity with a variety of databases
