About the role

As a Senior Data Analyst at Sonder, you’ll transform data into actionable insights that drive impactful decisions. Your core responsibility is to collect, analyse, and visualise data to develop models and solutions that support decision-makers.

What you’ll be doing

• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to define and understand key problems.
• Scope analytics projects and outline the benefits and approach for each initiative.
• Determine the most suitable analytics solutions, including methodologies and desired outcomes (e.g., reports, dashboards).
• Analyse data sets to identify patterns and trends, applying statistical methods to generate actionable recommendations.
• Communicate findings to business members through formal presentations or informal updates.

• Recommend and design experiments to enhance knowledge and advise on testing methodologies.
• Support and mentor junior analysts in data analysis techniques, best practices, and tools.
• Contribute to improving our analytics capabilities by defining new data collection and analysis processes.
