Job Overview:
Turn business challenges into smarter solutions through data, analytics, and emerging AI technologies. Based in Davidson, NC, the Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Analyst is an exciting early- to mid-career opportunity offering a hybrid work arrangement and exposure across multiple business functions. Partnering with Finance, Engineering, Procurement, Commercial, and Operations teams, you will identify challenges, uncover opportunities for improvement, and translate business needs into actionable insights and practical analytics, automation, and business intelligence solutions.

Supporting the Compression Systems and Services North America (CSS NA) business unit, this is a business-focused analytics role centered on bridging the gap between business needs and technology. You will collaborate with stakeholders to understand operational challenges, gather requirements, and leverage business intelligence platforms such as Snowflake, Qlik, and KNIME, including their emerging AI capabilities, to develop solutions that improve processes, strengthen decision-making, and drive operational effectiveness. Rather than focusing primarily on software engineering, advanced programming, or AI model development, the emphasis is on applying existing technologies to solve real business problems. As part of a growing and evolving Analytics function, you will gain hands-on experience with business intelligence, data analytics, automation, and emerging AI technologies while contributing to the continued growth and maturity of the team's capabilities. Unlike traditional roles focused on narrowly defined technical tasks, this opportunity offers meaningful projects, exposure to experienced stakeholders across a complex manufacturing organization, and a strong foundation for long-term career growth.

The ideal candidate is a motivated, analytical professional who learns quickly, takes ownership, and follows through on commitments. You bring a foundational understanding of analytics and business intelligence technologies, practical exposure to AI-enabled tools, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate across functions. Success requires curiosity, adaptability, effective communication, and a genuine passion for using data and technology to solve business problems. Manufacturing experience is highly preferred but not required.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, maintain, and enhance dashboards, reports, data visualizations, and analytical applications using Qlik, Snowflake, Power BI and other emerging analytics technologies.
• Build and validate reusable datasets and SQL queries
• Investigate data discrepancies and test solution logic, AI-generated outputs, and handling of incomplete or ambiguous inputs.
• Create and maintain shared definitions, mappings, and semantic views for consistent analysis in Snowflake, Qlik, and Excel.
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand business workflows, identify manual steps and information gaps, and translate user needs into practical improvements.
• Support ad hoc reporting requests and provide data-driven insights to stakeholders across the organization.
• Help build and refine AI agents and self-service tools for finance and business teams; test with users and measure time saved, accuracy, and adoption.
• Identify and assess opportunities to leverage AI and automation to improve reporting, business processes, operational efficiency, and decision-making.
• Use approved AI-assisted development tools to accelerate development and troubleshooting while understanding and checking the resulting logic.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics, Data Analytics, Information Systems, Finance, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of relevant professional experience, ideally 2–5 years in business analytics, business intelligence, financial or operational analytics, business systems, and/or process improvement. Relevant internship or co-op experience may be considered.
• 2+ years of experience using Microsoft Excel, including formulas, data analysis, investigating discrepancies, and validating data accuracy.
• 1+ years of practical experience analyzing business data, investigating discrepancies, identifying trends, and developing insights or solutions that support business decisions and operational improvements.
• 1+ years of experience working with business stakeholders to understand processes, gather requirements, and translate business challenges into practical analytics, reporting, automation, or process improvement solutions.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience using business intelligence, analytics, or automation tools to analyze data, support business decisions, or improve processes, including exposure to AI-enabled capabilities applied to business problems.

Core Competencies:

• Business Acumen & Analytical Thinking: Ability to understand business processes, interpret data, identify trends, and translate findings into actionable insights that support business decisions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to engage effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders, understand business requirements, and translate operational challenges into practical analytics and process improvement solutions.

• Communication & Knowledge Sharing: Ability to clearly explain analytical findings, communicate technical concepts to nontechnical audiences, and document solutions to support stakeholder understanding and adoption.

Preferences:

• Experience with business intelligence, analytics, or business automation tools such as Snowflake, Qlik, Power BI, Streamlit, KNIME, Microsoft Forms, Power Automate, SharePoint, or comparable technologies.
• Practical exposure to AI-enabled analytics, AI agents, application prototyping, or workflow automation used to solve business problems, improve processes, or support decision-making.
• Experience developing dashboards, business reports, or analytical solutions that translate data into actionable insights for business stakeholders.
• Experience supporting analytics, reporting, automation, or process improvement initiatives within manufacturing, operations, supply chain, finance, or other business functions.
• Working knowledge of SQL, including interpreting queries, understanding joins, filters, and aggregations, and validating data accuracy and relationships.
