Summary
NCD is seeking a Data Analyst to join our growing Data team. This role is ideal for someone with strong SQL fundamentals, a sharp analytical mindset, and the desire to grow into a highly capable individual contributor across analytics, data modeling, BI reporting, and cross-functional problem solving.

You will work hands-on in BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran-fed datasets, Omni and/or Power BI, and increasingly with Claude and other AI tools to accelerate SQL development, documentation, QA, and stakeholder support. This is not a passive reporting role.
