Senior Analyst, Analytics and Insights

An overview of this role

As a Senior Analytics & Insights Analyst on the Finance team within Analytics & Insights, you'll turn complex, noisy data into clear, actionable insights that support decisions across GitLab. You'll work with broad and sometimes imperfect datasets. You'll use tools like SQL and business intelligence platforms to extract the signal from the noise, validate data quality, and build dashboards and analyses that give Finance and other partner teams a reliable view of business performance. You'll report to the Senior Manager, Analytics & Insights and work as part of a small, focused team. Together with stakeholders in Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product, you'll answer data-centric business questions, support key initiatives, and enable more data-driven planning and reporting across the company.

Some examples of our projects:

• Supporting Finance with analytics and reporting for quarterly earnings call preparation
• Building cross-functional dashboards that align business objectives with clear, measurable KPIs

What You’ll Do  

• Collaborate with Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product partners to frame data-centric business questions and deliver clear, actionable insights.
• Analyze complex, cross-functional datasets to identify trends, risks, and opportunities that inform strategic and operational decisions.
• Support Finance leadership with analytics and reporting for key initiatives, including quarterly earnings call preparation and other executive priorities.
• Build, maintain, and enhance dashboards and reports that make financial and business performance easy to understand for non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure data quality, accuracy, and consistency by validating inputs, troubleshooting discrepancies, and partnering with Data team members on fixes.
• Present complex analyses in a simple, compelling way through written narratives, visualizations, and live discussions with stakeholders.
• Identify data gaps and define clear requirements for new data, logging, and measurement in partnership with the Data team and product management.
• Drive the adoption of data-driven decision-making within the Finance Analytics & Insights team by proactively sharing insights and best practices.

What You’ll Bring 

• Experience working in a similar analytics and insights role within a B2B SaaS environment, ideally focused on finance or revenue-related topics.
• Proficiency in SQL and in using business intelligence and data visualization tools such as Tableau to build and maintain dashboards and reports.
• Background in developing, validating, and maintaining analytics datasets, dashboards, and recurring reporting with strong attention to data quality and accuracy.
• Ability to translate complex, ambiguous data into clear, structured insights that connect business objectives, key performance indicators, and actionable recommendations.
• Skill in identifying data gaps, defining clear requirements, and partnering with data and product teams to improve data capture and underlying data structures.
• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, including presenting findings to non-technical audiences and collaborating with partners in Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, collaborative, and asynchronous environment, managing multiple priorities and driving work independently.
• Openness to candidates with diverse backgrounds and transferable skills who can demonstrate strong analytical thinking, business acumen, and a data-informed approach to decision-making.
