Senior Data Analyst, Public Sector

Scale's Data Analytics team is centralized, embedding data analysts across delivery, operations, finance, and engineering to turn ambiguous problems into clear, actionable insights. As a Senior Data Analyst for Public Sector, you'll build analytics solutions from the ground up - partnering closely with cross-functional teams and leadership to solve complex problems, design dashboards, build tables, and perform ad-hoc analyses that shape how Scale runs and measures its Public Sector business.

We're looking for someone who's relentlessly curious, comfortable owning ambiguity, and skilled at turning cross-functional relationships into sustainable, scalable analytics solutions.

• Partner with Ops to identify and track efficiency initiatives, measuring their impact on cost, quality, and delivery outcomes over time
• Partner with Finance to analyze cost drivers across programs and help inform pricing strategy
• Be willing to deepdive when needed and dig into the messy details to get to the root of a problem
• Initiate and drive complex projects to completion with minimal guidance

Ideally you'd have:

• 6+ years of relevant work experience
• Advanced SQL skills and experience building with data modeling tools (e.g. DBT)
