The Data Analyst 3 is a lead member of the Store Operations Data Analytics team which owns the acquisition and delivery of data and insights for Store Operations initiatives impacting Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores. The ideal candidate can think strategically and creatively about the needs of the business, build productive relationships with a diverse array of stakeholders, and provide ongoing data support that will produce quantitative analysis, drive meaningful action, and improve store-level performance. This individual operates as a Looker developer and AI-native analyst — building, maintaining, and continuously improving a modern reporting suite powered by Looker and accelerated by AI tools including Claude. They will keep a constant pulse on all Store Operations initiatives and priorities and influence change through compelling, accurate, and timely data delivery.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter and strong technical contributor who is always looking for new opportunities to solve business problems with data-driven tools. The individual should be highly curious about how the business works and possess the skills to unlock rich, nuanced insights from complicated data and communicate those insights in a way that drives positive business outcomes. Proficiency with Looker (LookML development, Explores, dashboards) and active use of AI tools — particularly Claude — for development acceleration, analysis, and workflow automation are required competencies for this role.
