Overview 

recteq is seeking a Business Intelligence (BI) Data & Analytics Analyst to support hands-on analytics, reporting, and solution prototyping efforts within its Data & Analytics function. This role is ideal for a technically capable, early-career professional who is ready to apply existing skills in a production environment and contribute meaningfully to live business initiatives. You will work directly with the Director of Data & Analytics to prototype Power BI reports, perform ad hoc analysis, support data pipelines, and assist with analytics-driven solutioning across the business. Work will be driven by real business priorities that shift over time, requiring adaptability, judgment, and initiative. This is a contract role with meaningful responsibility and visibility, similar in nature to an analyst role at a large consulting firm. While mentorship and guidance will be available, this is not a formal training program—success in this role requires the ability to take ownership and deliver. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Design, prototype, and refine Power BI reports and dashboards for operational and leadership use 
  • Perform ad hoc data analysis to answer business questions related to operations, inventory, and revenue 
  • Write, optimize, and validate SQL queries against Snowflake in a medallion-style data architecture 
  • Develop Python-based scripts and utilities to support data ingestion, transformation, and analysis 
  • Assist with data pipeline development and orchestration, including work alongside dbt and Dagster workflows 
  • Support testing and UAT activities, including test coordination, validation, and documentation 
  • Create clear, professional deliverables using Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio 
  • Document analytical logic, assumptions, and processes in a clear and maintainable way 
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve reporting, analytics workflows, and data usability 
  • Operate comfortably in both agile and waterfall-style delivery environments as needed

 

Required Qualifications 

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience) in Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, MIS, Engineering, or a related field 
  • Demonstrated, working proficiency in: 
    • Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) 
    • Structured Query Language (SQL)
    • Python for analytics, scripting, or data processing
    • Power BI (report development and basic data modeling)
    • Strong proficiency with Microsoft 365, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
    • Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and manage ambiguity
    • Clear written and verbal communication skills

 

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

  • Exposure to modern data platforms and tooling (Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, Fivetran, or similar) 
  • Familiarity with layered or medallion data architectures
  • Experience producing stakeholder-facing analytical deliverables
  • Interest or exposure to inventory, supply chain, revenue, customer experience, and marketing analytics
  • Familiarity with the application of generative and/or agentic AI to solve business problems

 

Work Style & Expectations 

  • This role requires a self-starter mindset—you will be expected to take initiative and proactively move work forward 
  • This team adheres to strict resource and budgetary constraints, so you will regularly need to be resourceful and apply a “find a way” mentality
  • Priorities may change as business needs evolve; adaptability and mindful judgment are critical
  • While mentorship and guidance are available, success depends on your ability to apply what you already know, not on formal instruction
  • The role carries real accountability and agency, with visibility into enterprise decision-making

 

Work Arrangement & Logistics

  • Location: Atlanta, GA (local candidates only) 
  • In-Office: 3 days per week at 1155 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta, GA 
  • Travel: Occasional multi-day travel to Augusta, GA 
  • Engagement Duration: Targeting Spring through end of year, with the possibility of contract extension or Full Time Employment (FTE) conversion
