Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Strategy & Analytics Manager' but the posting carries no seniority level word; the level advertised in the title is therefore Unspecified. The 2+ years minimum and the scope of the work (building dashboards, data models, and process frameworks on a single commercial team) support a Mid-level classification.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role blends BI/reporting analytics (15-2031) with commercial/systems process analysis (15-1211). The emphasis on building data models, dashboards, KPIs, and forecasting frameworks tips it toward 15-2031, but the strong process-redesign and cross-functional translation work makes 15-1211 a credible runner-up.
Looker and Tableau are listed together as examples of BI tools ('such as Looker, Tableau, or BigQuery'). Looker is named first and treated as the primary; Tableau is captured as an alternative. BigQuery is listed in the same clause but is a distinct data warehouse tool and is emitted separately.
AI tools are required by firm language ('Genuine excitement about AI and an existing habit of using it') under the qualifications section, but no specific AI product is named — the skill is captured generically as 'AI tools'.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting beyond 'competitive salary'.
The posting mentions pre-IPO equity, unlimited PTO, and fully employer-paid medical/dental/vision as notable benefits.
