Job Summary
Vari is looking for an analytically driven Analytics Engineer to join our Technology Team. In this role, you will be the primary owner of business intelligence and data analytics at Vari, turning our data into clear, trusted, and actionable insight that fuels smarter decisions across the business. You will work across a modern AI-forward analytics stack to deliver statistical analysis, self-service reporting, and advanced dashboards, while also contributing to the SQL Server data warehouse foundations that power them. Critically, you will serve as a bridge between our data capabilities and our business teams as someone who understands not just the data, but the business context behind it.
The Opportunity
This is a high-visibility, high-impact individual contributor role on a lean data team that is actively investing in its analytics and AI capabilities. Most of your time (~75%) will be spent doing what you do best: digging into data, surfacing trends through statistical analysis, and delivering Power BI reports and dashboards that stakeholders use and trust. The remaining focus (~25%) supports the data engineering side, contributing to star schema design, T-SQL stored procedures, and ETL pipelines that feed clean, reliable data into the warehouse.
This role demands equal parts technical depth and business fluency. You will work directly with leaders and teams across Sales, Operations, Finance, and Marketing, earning their trust by understanding their goals, asking the right questions, and delivering analysis that drives real decisions. If you’re energized by working at the intersection of rigorous analysis and modern data tooling, and excited by the opportunity to embed AI-powered analytics into the way a growing company understands itself, this role is built for you.

- Lead requirements-gathering conversations with business teams; translate ambiguous or complex business questions into well-scoped analytical problems and clear deliverables
- Present analytical findings and recommendations confidently to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership
- Leverage AI and machine learning capabilities within the BI stack (e.g. Power BI Copilot, Azure AI, Python- or R-based ML models) to augment analysis and automate insight delivery
- Use Python or R (e.g. pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, statsmodels, tidyverse, caret) for exploratory data analysis, statistical modelling, and scripted reporting workflows
- Champion self-service analytics by publishing governed well-documented semantic models and training end users across the business
- Monitor report adoption, data quality, and metric consistency; proactively identify and resolve discrepancies

- Support source-to-target mapping documentation and data lineage tracking for new data domains
- Collaborate with the broader data team on pipeline reliability, performance tuning, and warehouse architecture
