BI Analyst Jobs in Boston, MA

We are seeking a highly technical, data-driven BI Analyst to support a small number of high-value enterprise accounts. This role is built for someone who lives in large, complex datasets and turns them into clear, decision-grade insights. Working alongside an Account, Strategy and Media Directors, you will own the analytical layer for each assigned client - generating performance insights, producing forecasts, and surfacing the patterns that drive business outcomes. You will operate fluently inside client-owned data warehouses such as BigQuery, Snowflake, and Sigma, build BI environments in tools like Power BI/Tableau, and translate ambiguous business questions into structured analytical work. This role centers on developing a deep quantitative understanding of each client's business and using that fluency to inform strategy, investment, and forecasting decisions. The position plays a critical cross-functional role between Strategy, Paid Media, Client Services, and Analytics.

What You'll Do

Data Analysis & Insight Generation

• Synthesize large, multi-source datasets across paid media, web, CRM, ecommerce, offline conversions, and call tracking into clear performance narratives

• Conduct deep-dive analyses on channel contribution, funnel efficiency, audience segmentation, LTV, CAC, MER, and cohort behavior

• Surface hidden patterns, anomalies, and opportunities by applying statistical methods to complex, multi-dimensional datasets

• Translate raw data into business-aligned insights tied to revenue, pipeline, retention, and growth outcomes

• Partner with Strategy leadership to inform testing roadmaps, investment decisions, and budget reallocation

Forecasting & Predictive Modeling

• Build and maintain forecasting models for revenue, spend, CAC, ROAS, CPA, and other KPIs across paid channels, ecommerce, and lead-gen environments

• Develop scenario models (baseline vs. optimized) that project incremental opportunity from strategic shifts

• Apply seasonality decomposition, time-series methods, and regression-based projection techniques

• Quantify the financial impact of audit findings, optimization recommendations, and budget changes

• Surface leading indicators of underperformance before they appear in lagging metrics

Business Intelligence & Data Visualization

• Build and maintain BI environments using tools such as Power BI, Looker, Tableau, and Sigma

• Design semantic data models, DAX measures, and reusable datasets that scale across clients and account types

• Build executive-ready dashboards that translate complex datasets into clear, narrative-driven views of performance

• Establish single-source-of-truth reporting frameworks that reconcile platform data with CRM and ecommerce truth

• Optimize query performance, data refresh patterns, and cost efficiency across BI infrastructure

Working Within Client Data Environments

• Operate fluently inside client-owned data warehouses, including BigQuery, Snowflake, and Sigma, to query, model, and analyze marketing and business data

• Write performant SQL against client schemas to build the datasets, views, and aggregations that power analysis and reporting

• Develop attribution logic in the warehouse layer (multi-touch, last-click, position-based, custom blends) using whatever stack the client provides

• Adapt to varying data architectures, naming conventions, and governance models across enterprise client environments

• Partner with client data teams to align on definitions, source-of-truth logic, and access patterns

• Support offline conversion pipelines via platform APIs (Google Ads, Meta CAPI) where data engineering input is required

Measurement Foundation & Data Integrity

• Validate that conversion tracking, attribution logic, and data flow across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, GA4, and CRM environments feed the warehouse cleanly and consistently

• Partner with tag management specialists to translate analytical requirements into data layer specifications

• Identify discrepancies between platform reporting and source-of-truth, and trace them to root cause

• Enforce consistent event taxonomies, UTM structures, and naming conventions at the data layer

• Ensure analytical outputs respect privacy frameworks and consent management requirements

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Act as the analytical counterpart to the Strategy Director or Enterprise Account Director on assigned enterprise accounts

• Serve as the agency's go-to voice for diagnosing performance issues, sizing opportunities, and pressure-testing strategic hypotheses with data

• Translate technical findings into language that resonates with C-level client stakeholders

• Collaborate with Paid Media, SEO, Client Services, and Strategy teams to align analytical outputs with execution

What You'll Bring

• 6+ years of experience in digital analytics, business intelligence, marketing data science, or a closely related discipline

• Expert-level SQL with hands-on experience working inside client-owned warehouses such as BigQuery, Snowflake, and Sigma: CTEs, window functions, materialized views, and cost-aware query design

• Advanced BI proficiency: data modeling, DAX, Power Query, performance optimization, and row-level security

• Strong adoption and comfort with AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.

• Proven experience working within client data environments to unify paid media, web, CRM, and revenue data into analysis-ready datasets

• Strong working knowledge of GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and the underlying data structures of each platform's exports and APIs

• Demonstrated experience building forecasting models using time-series methods, regression, or scenario-based modeling

• Hands-on Python (preferred) or R for statistical analysis, pandas-based data manipulation, and reproducible analytical workflows

• Strong understanding of multi-touch attribution, marketing mix concepts, and cross-channel measurement principles

• Experience with offline conversion tracking, CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce), and call tracking platforms (CTM, Marchex)

• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business questions into structured analytical work

• Exceptional documentation, communication, and storytelling skills across both technical and executive audiences

• Familiarity with Looker Studio, Tableau, or other secondary BI surfaces (preferred)

• Working familiarity with GTM and GA4 implementation - sufficient to specify and validate, not necessarily build (preferred)

• Experience with marketing mix modeling, incrementality testing, or geo-experiments (preferred)

• Familiarity with ETL and transformation tooling such as Fivetran, Stitch, or dbt (preferred)

• Experience designing or architecting marketing data warehouses from scratch (preferred, not required)
