Lead Business Analyst I

At Braze, we have found our people. We’re a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew. We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity – inside and outside our organization. To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success. Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture. If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change, you will be empowered to make a real impact here, with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can’t wait to meet you. Braze is seeking a Lead Analyst I with a deep background in DBT development and Go-To-Market Analytics to join our Business Analytics team within the broader Growth Data organization. As Braze scales, we are aggressively modernizing our data infrastructure to serve our Go-To-Market (GTM) teams. We need an experienced practitioner with a proven track record of developing scalable data models who holds themselves to the highest standards of the Modern Data Stack. Sitting within our Business Analytics function, you will work in a tight feedback loop with GTM operators and revenue leaders, operating with significantly more business context than a traditional, siloed data role. You will serve as a foundational architect for many of our revamped GTM data models—bridging the gap between raw operational data and strategic execution while refactoring legacy models that no longer meet the needs of a scaling business. Though you will spend the vast majority of your time developing models in dbt, you are expected to be a full-cycle practitioner. This means occasionally stepping out of the DAG to perform deep-dive analysis in Python o r curate the final Looker experience to ensure your architecture translates into executive action. Location & Eligibility: You must currently reside in Canada and possess independent work authorization. We cannot provide visa sponsorship or relocation assistance for this role. Who This Role is NOT For: Dashboard Builders: If your primary comfort zone is dragging and dropping in Tableau or PowerBI, and you do not actively write DRY, modular dbt code, this role is not a fit. We are hiring a code-first data architect, not a report builder.
