Senior Analyst

Position Summary

Upstream's Data, Analytics and Technology (DAT) team works cross-functionally to ensure software, hardware, and data function optimally while leading improvement projects that shape the business and promote organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and data-driven decision making. The team also supports Upstream's growing, organization-wide use of AI.

This role exists to expand the team's capacity to deliver. Reporting to the Manager of Data, Analytics, Technology & Security, the Sr. Analyst, Technology & Project Management partners closely with the DAT leadership team and colleagues across Upstream to own and move forward the work that keeps initiatives shipping: project management, data analysis and reporting, and the hands-on execution in between the planning and the doing, and adds a versatile, technically capable partner who can both plan the work and do it.

The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, highly organized, and exceptional communicator who is as comfortable running a stakeholder meeting as building a report or completing a project. They are curious, detail-oriented, and energized by turning ambiguous needs into finished work in a fast-moving, lean environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Technical Project Management (60%)

• Own end-to-end project management, from intake through delivery, for DAT initiatives on the team's roadmap, including data migrations, IT operations improvements, and the central data-layer buildout.
• Manage scope, timelines, dependencies, and stakeholders using agile/Kanban methods; align people on outcomes, owners, and deadlines, and keep work visible and moving, anticipating blockers and keeping initiatives and the team on track.
• Cultivate cross-departmental relationships and drive projects to completion, bringing a technical skill set that lets you both coordinate the work and contribute to it directly, including by not limited to supporting Upstream's evolving central data warehouse / data-layer strategy.
• Serve as a resource for turning data into decisions across teams.

Automation, Tooling & Process Improvement (25%)

• Build and improve MVP (Minimum Viable Product) workflow automations and solutions that remove manual work across teams, then iterate based on real use and feedback.
• Translate staff pain points and ideas into documented, repeatable, right-sized workflows. Train others so improvements stick and scale.
• Drive initiatives to completion, often coordinating and contributing directly to the work.

Systems, AI Adoption & Operations Support (15%)

• Support software and hardware administration and asset lifecycle management (SaaS apps, laptops, office tech) and coordination with third-party technology vendors.
• Support Upstream's AI adoption efforts with hands-on help on pilots, education and training, documentation, and change management.
• Support selection, implementation, and administration across Upstream's SaaS application stack (Google Workspace, Snowflake, Power BI, Vena, ADP, Greenhouse, and others)
• Help improve and, where possible, automate helpdesk and support functions; monitor and elevate recurring issues, propose, and help implement process enhancements.
• Additional duties as assigned.

• Demonstrates the ability to remain focused, adaptable, and solution-oriented in the face of challenges, setbacks, or ambiguity. Approaches obstacles with a growth mindset and maintains a steady commitment to goals, even under pressure or changing circumstances; resilient.
