Business Intelligence Analyst

About Sock Club

Sock Club is a growing custom promotional products company focused on delivering exceptional service and speed in an industry known for the opposite. Our team of 65+ people is based in Austin, TX, and we pride ourselves on being a pleasure to work with while maintaining strong operational efficiency.

About the Role

We're seeking a BI professional who excels at democratizing data across organizations. You'll build Sock Club's analytics foundation and then focus on enabling all teams to become data-driven through self-service reporting, training, and scalable BI solutions. While you'll initially set up our data infrastructure, your primary mission is making data accessible and actionable for everyone. This role requires 3+ days/week in our Austin, TX office (remaining 2 days can be remote).

Primary Responsibilities

• Data Democratization (70% of role): Train non-technical teams to build their own reports and analyses in Sigma
• Self-Service Analytics: Design intuitive data models and dashboards that teams can easily understand and modify
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work directly with Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Product teams to understand their analytical needs
• Analytics Training: Conduct workshops and create documentation to build data literacy across the organization
• Stakeholder Enablement: Transform complex data into business-friendly insights and recommendations

Technical Foundation Work (30% of role)

• Establish cost-effective data pipelines from Hubspot, APIs, and other sources to and from Snowflake
• Build business-friendly data structures in Sigma that allow teams to easily find and use data without technical knowledge
• Optimize Snowflake spend and performance
• Create and maintain data governance standards

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Enablement Focus: You get energized by teaching others and building systems that scale beyond yourself
• Business Partnership: You've successfully worked with non-technical stakeholders to solve business problems with data
• Technical Foundation: Strong enough in Snowflake/Sigma/SQL to build reliable infrastructure, but your passion is the business application

Note: While this role involves some technical infrastructure work initially, we're specifically looking for someone excited about the people and process side of analytics. If you prefer heads-down technical work, this may not be the right fit.

Required Experience

• 4+ years in BI roles with significant stakeholder-facing responsibilities
• Proven track record of building self-service analytics capabilities
• Experience training non-technical teams on BI tools
• Strong Snowflake and Sigma experience (or extensive experience with similar modern BI tools and willingness to learn Sigma quickly)
• Advanced SQL and data modeling skills
• Excellent communication and teaching abilities

Preferred Background

• Previous experience scaling analytics at growing companies
• Experience with change management and user adoption initiatives
• Background in data governance and best practices

What Success Looks Like

• Teams across the organization regularly create their own reports without your direct involvement
• Reduced time-to-insight for business questions
• High user adoption rates of self-service tools
• Cost-effective and reliable data infrastructure

Growth Opportunity

This role has the potential to evolve into a more senior data leadership position as the company continues to grow. We're looking for someone who can grow with us and eventually lead a larger analytics function.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary: $85,000 - $110,000 (based on experience)
• Health insurance, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Flexible PTO policy

Unsure about your qualifications?

You should apply anyway!

LinkedIn examined their users' job search behavior and found that women are less likely to apply for a job that they aren't fully qualified for, while men will apply if they meet only some of the desired qualities.

Whether you fit into these two categories, or somewhere else on the spectrum, take a chance on that application. You may just be the perfect fit!
