Supervisor’s name and title: Kyle Unruh, Director of Data Services and Solutions

• PRIMARY ROLE
  
  

The Data Analyst will be a subject matter expert on the Unizin Data Platform (UDP) and interface with our member institutions on new data assets, querying data within the Google Big Query environment, data modeling, visualizations, and technical questions/requests. The Unizin Data Platform is hosted in Google Cloud, so cloud-native analytics tools (BigQuery, CloudSQL, etc.) will be leveraged. Also, visualization layers are key to our member institutions (Tableau, PowerBI, Superset, etc.).

Equally important is support for institution analysts and researchers. This role also requires meeting with UDP users and stakeholders to understand their priorities and challenges with data, as part of both onboarding new institutions as well as working with existing members. This individual will also craft data solutions alongside our members in a consulting capacity.
