As a Senior Analyst (IC), you'll turn messy go to market data into clear, decision driving insights improving forecast accuracy, accelerating pipeline velocity, and reducing churn. you'll collaborate with BI, Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Product to move the metrics that matter.
What you'll do (outcomes over activities)
Own the revenue intelligence foundation
- Model the system: Build clean, reusable datasets and semantic layers across CRM, customer, and product signals. Define metric logic (pipeline coverage, conversion, forecast error, churn risk) with clear, durable definitions.
- Quantify risk and upside: Apply statistical methods and ML where they add signal time series for forecasting, classification/uplift for deal and renewal prioritization, survival analysis for churn.
- Automate the feedback loop: Productionize data quality checks, anomaly detection, and alerting so insights flow into weekly operating rhythms without manual chase.
Turn analysis into operating decisions
- Forecast with precision: Diagnose variance and bias, and propose specific changes to roll ups, cadence, and judgment overlays that improve commit reliability.
- Fix funnel friction: Identify stage to stage drop offs, recommend process changes (enablement, handoffs, definitions), and quantify impact via pre/post or controlled tests.
- Craft compelling narratives and visuals suitable for executives, ensuring clarity and ease of reuse during QBRs.
Influence without authority
- Partner across the aisle: Work with Sales leaders, Finance, and Marketing to land metric contracts and action owners.
- Improve: Mentor peers on analytical structure, code hygiene, and communication craft; contribute templates, queries, and documentation others can build on.
What you bring
Foundational skills (the must haves)
- Data engineering: Strong SQL; experience crafting schemas for analytics (slowly changing dimensions, surrogate keys, late arriving facts), building reliable pipelines/orchestration, and version controlling code and data definitions.
- Statistics: Comfort with inference and experimentation (A/B, diff in diff, power), regression/time series, uncertainty communication, and translating assumptions into business guardrails.
- Machine learning (pragmatic): Hands on with supervised learning for classification/regression and survival/retention modelling; ability to choose simple, explainable models when they outperform complexity.
- Business and communication: You map models to money (quota, coverage, conversion, churn) and package insights into crisp, executive ready narratives.
Experience
- 5 8 years in SaaS Sales/Revenue Operations analytics; proven impact through measurable results.
- Proven track record operating across modern data stacks (warehouse + transformation + notebooks + BI) specific tools are less important than the architectural thinking and craft you bring.
- Education: B.Tech/BE or Advanced degree in Math, CS, or Statistics + MBA or equivalent experience from a reputable institution.
Nice to have
- Experiment development in go-to-market settings (policy changes, enablement tests, pricing/packaging experiments).
- Exposure to MLOps concepts (feature hygiene, drift checks, monitoring) and documentation culture (readmes, metric contracts, data dictionaries).
How we'll measure success (Year 1 targets)
- Increase sales manager quota attainment by 30% through enhanced forecasting models.
- Reduce pipeline leakage by 20% via AI-powe'red deal prioritization.
- Cut customer churn by 15% through predictive retention analytics.
