Work Your Way:
At Spreetail, we believe in empowering our employees to work in the way that suits them best through our Work Your Way approach. Each team member has the flexibility to choose where they work most effectively each week—whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. While flexibility is key, we also value the power of in-person connection. That’s why we bring our corporate team together in Lincoln each quarter for a week of intentional collaboration, team building, community engagement, and our All-Hands meeting. It’s the best of both worlds: the freedom to work your way, with meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together.

How you will achieve success:
- Build and operationalize a governed, versioned Finance semantic layer in Snowflake/dbt that standardizes KPIs and definitions across BI, APIs, AI/ML, and automation.
- Facilitate high-impact KPI debates, translate decisions into durable data contracts, and implement structured change management with clear downstream communication.
- Consolidate dashboard sprawl into a curated, certified portfolio with clear ownership, SLAs, documentation, and release transparency.
- Implement robust data quality testing, lineage visibility, and incident management to deliver >98% freshness during close and forecast cycles.
- Optimize Snowflake and Power BI performance, eliminate redundant transformations, and publish cost/performance scorecards to improve speed and lower total cost of ownership.
What experiences will help you in this role:
- Experience modernizing complex BI ecosystems through standards, governance, and incremental architectural improvements without slowing the business.
- Strong Snowflake modeling, dbt (testing, documentation, CI), and Power BI (semantic models, DAX, RLS, deployment pipelines) experience building reusable data products.
- Demonstrated ability to translate nuanced KPI discussions (GMV, margin metrics, ASP, refunds, etc.) into governed, scalable enterprise data models.
- Experience improving query performance and reducing TCO across the data lifecycle while balancing trade-offs between speed, flexibility, and governance.
- Success partnering with Finance, Operations, Merchandising, CX, Technology, and executive stakeholders to align on metrics, roadmap priorities, and scalable data foundations.
