About the role

Genius Sports is looking for a Data Business Partner for Operations, a hands-on analytics engineering role within its Enterprise Analytics function. You will act as the technical data partner to Operations VPs and senior leaders, turning operational processes and business priorities into scalable data models, metrics and datasets. The focus is on building clean, governed and reusable data that supports decision-making, automation and AI-enabled insights, not on reporting.

Key responsibilities

• Translate operational processes and business priorities into scalable data models, metrics and datasets.
• Design, build and maintain high-quality dbt models on Snowflake.
• Own and evolve the Operations semantic layer so metrics and business definitions are consistent, trusted and AI-ready.
• Create intuitive, well-documented datasets for Reporting Analysts and operational users in Sigma.
• Improve data quality, reliability, performance and interoperability across domains.
• Review operational processes and recommend improvements to data capture, measurement and automation.
• Identify high-value use cases where data delivers efficiency, cost, service or commercial benefits.
• Promote standards in SQL, dimensional modelling, testing, documentation and metric governance.

Required profile

• Strong experience in analytics engineering, BI engineering or data engineering.
• Ability to understand complex business processes and turn them into practical technical solutions.
• Confidence in advising and constructively challenging senior stakeholders.
• Clear communication of data concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Bias toward simplification, standardisation and measurable business impact.

Required skills

• Advanced SQL and data modelling.
• Hands-on experience with dbt and Snowflake.
• Experience designing semantic layers and governing business-critical metrics.
• Experience with Sigma or a comparable BI platform.
• Understanding of dimensional modelling, data warehousing, data quality and scalable data design.

What we offer

• Monthly salary ranging from EUR 3,750 to EUR 4,160 gross for this full-time role.
• Eligibility for the Genius Sports Group benefits plan.
• An office-first culture with hybrid working depending on role and location.
