Who Are We Looking For

The Senior Analytics Engineer on the ACV Capital team is an expert practitioner who transforms raw data into trusted, decision-ready models and reports that drive the lending business forward. Sitting at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, this role owns the full analytics stack - from dbt model design and data quality to Omni BI dashboards - and partners directly with Capital leadership to surface insights on lead targeting, loan origination, account management, dealer servicing, and operational compliance.

A key objective of this role is reducing ad-hoc analytical bottlenecks over time. You will be expected to answer urgent business questions quickly and directly, while systematically building the underlying dbt models, metric definitions, and BI layer in a way that enables self-serve analytics - including AI-assisted querying - so that Capital stakeholders can answer common questions themselves.

What You Will Do (Responsibilities)

Analytics Modeling & Data Quality

• Design, build, and maintain dbt models (staging, intermediate, production layers) that serve as the single source of truth for Capital KPIs, with machine-readability in mind
• Enforce data quality through dbt tests, source freshness checks, and documentation so downstream consumers can trust what they see
• Write complex SQL transformations on large datasets; optimize for cost and performance
  
  

Reporting & BI

• Translate business questions into well-scoped analytical requirements; define metrics in collaboration with Capital leadership and keep definitions governed in our semantic layer
• Build and own the Omni BI semantic layer, enabling self-serve chat and dealer-facing embedded reporting
• Balance responsiveness to ad-hoc requests while optimizing via building: triage what should be answered once vs. what should be codified so stakeholders or AI tools can self-serve it in the future
• Deliver clear, compelling data narratives to non-technical stakeholders; support follow-on questions and iterate quickly
  
  

Capital Business Domains

• Lead Targeting: develop models and dashboards that identify high-propensity dealer and borrower segments to support outbound sales strategy
• Loan Origination Tracking: build funnel visibility from application through funding; surface bottlenecks and conversion opportunities
• Operational Functions: provide analytical support for account management workflows, dealer servicing SLAs, and audit/compliance reporting
  
  

Project Ownership & Stakeholder Partnership

• Own analytical initiatives end-to-end: identify stakeholders, define scope and timelines, and execute without requiring close supervision
• Proactively surface opportunities and deliver data-driven recommendations — not just answers to questions that were asked
• Navigate competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups; propose win-win solutions when technical requirements conflict
  
  

What You Will Need (Skills, Experience, Education)

Education

• BA/BS in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or related
• Master's or Ph.D. a plus, but offset by demonstrated experience and a deep toolbox
  
  

Experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or BI
• Hands-on production experience with dbt (model design, testing, documentation, incremental strategies)
• Proficiency building semantic layers; Omni or Looker BI experience preferred, but similar experience considered
• Expert-level SQL; comfortable with window functions, complex joins, and query optimization in BigQuery or a comparable cloud warehouse
• Experience delivering major analytical initiatives independently, from scoping through stakeholder presentation
• Background in financial services, fintech, or lending is a meaningful plus - familiarity with origination, account management, or B2B lending workflows accelerates ramp
• Experience with Git-based version control workflows
  
  

Soft Skills

• Communicates analytical findings clearly to non-technical audiences
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity
• Collaborative, low-ego, and invested in the team's collective output
• Strong instinct for knowing when to answer quickly vs. when to build properly
  
  

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform
• Familiarity with AI-assisted analytics or developer workflows
• Exposure to credit risk, payment systems, or audit/compliance reporting contexts
