Position Summary:

The Senior Data Analyst is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing analytical solutions that drive data-informed decision-making at Suffolk Construction. This role leads the development of complex analyses and dashboards, ensures adherence to data governance and quality standards, and plays a critical role in enhancing the accessibility, accuracy, and strategic value of the organization’s data assets.

• Lead complex, end‑to‑end analytical projects – frame ambiguous business questions, design robust analyses across large or multi‑source data sets, and deliver clear, actionable insights that influence strategic decisions.
• Translate strategic objectives into data requirements and Agile deliverables – partner with Product Owners to refine epics, decompose them into sprint‑ready user stories with acceptance criteria, and drive their execution (analysis, development, testing, documentation) to on‑time, high‑quality delivery.
• Set standards for Business‑as‑Usual (BAU) data fulfillment – own the BAU request pipeline, automate repetitive tasks, monitor SLAs, and coach team members to ensure consistent, scalable service levels.
• Partner with Data Engineering to architect and evolve analysis‑ready data models – collaborate to define requirements, champion best practices in ELT/ETL and data‑ops, and validate that pipelines and marts meet analytical needs for accuracy, timeliness, and cost efficiency.
• Drive self‑directed deep‑dive analyses that uncover growth and efficiency opportunities – proactively surface hypotheses, design experiments or statistical tests, and translate findings into prioritized recommendations with quantified impact.
• Influence and align senior stakeholders – craft executive‑ready narratives and visualizations, present findings to leadership, and build consensus on data‑driven initiatives, investment decisions, and KPI definitions.
• Elevate team capability – mentor analysts on analytical design, coding standards, QA, and storytelling; share best practices; and foster a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing across functions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or related fields. Advanced degree is preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in data space, with a minimum of 2 years as a Data Analyst with a proven track record managing complex pipelines or systems, consistently delivering high-performance ratings, and impactful contributions to business efficiency.
• Advanced proficiency in data visualization frameworks (at least one enterprise BI platform - Tableau or Power BI; with some code-first JavaScript, Python, or R).
• Advanced proficiency in SQL, Python, or R for data manipulation and automation.
• Intermediate understanding of data engineering (e.g., ETL processes, database optimization).
• Advanced statistical analysis and problem-solving.
• Experience with project‑based, asset‑heavy industries (construction, real estate development, infrastructure) is strongly preferred. Experience in the construction subcontractor/ self-perform industry will be a strong differentiator.
