Analytics Engineer IV, ACV Capital
ACV
Data Science
Toronto, ON, Canada
Who are we looking for:
The Senior Analytics Engineer on the ACV Capital team is an expert practitioner who transforms raw data into trusted, decision-ready models and reports that drive the lending business forward. Sitting at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, this role owns the full analytics stack - from dbt model design and data quality to Omni BI dashboards - and partners directly with Capital leadership to surface insights on lead targeting, loan origination, account management, dealer servicing, and operational compliance.
A key objective of this role is reducing ad-hoc analytical bottlenecks over time. You will be expected to answer urgent business questions quickly and directly, while systematically building the underlying dbt models, metric definitions, and BI layer in a way that enables self-serve analytics - including AI-assisted querying - so that Capital stakeholders can answer common questions themselves.
What you will do (Responsibilities):
Analytics Modeling & Data Quality
-
Design, build, and maintain dbt models (staging, intermediate, production layers) that serve as the single source of truth for Capital KPIs, with machine-readability in mind
-
Enforce data quality through dbt tests, source freshness checks, and documentation so downstream consumers can trust what they see
-
Write complex SQL transformations on large datasets; optimize for cost and performance
Reporting & BI
-
Translate business questions into well-scoped analytical requirements; define metrics in collaboration with Capital leadership and keep definitions governed in our semantic layer
-
Build and own the Omni BI semantic layer, enabling self-serve chat and dealer-facing embedded reporting
-
Balance responsiveness to ad-hoc requests while optimizing via building: triage what should be answered once vs. what should be codified so stakeholders or AI tools can self-serve it in the future
-
Deliver clear, compelling data narratives to non-technical stakeholders; support follow-on questions and iterate quickly
Capital Business Domains
-
Lead Targeting: develop models and dashboards that identify high-propensity dealer and borrower segments to support outbound sales strategy
-
Loan Origination Tracking: build funnel visibility from application through funding; surface bottlenecks and conversion opportunities
-
Operational Functions: provide analytical support for account management workflows, dealer servicing SLAs, and audit/compliance reporting
Project Ownership & Stakeholder Partnership
-
Own analytical initiatives end-to-end: identify stakeholders, define scope and timelines, and execute without requiring close supervision
-
Proactively surface opportunities and deliver data-driven recommendations — not just answers to questions that were asked
-
Navigate competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups; propose win-win solutions when technical requirements conflict
What you will need (Skills, Experience, Education):
Education
-
BA/BS in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or related
-
Master's or Ph.D. a plus, but offset by demonstrated experience and a deep toolbox
Experience
-
5+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or BI
-
Hands-on production experience with dbt (model design, testing, documentation, incremental strategies)
-
Proficiency building semantic layers; Omni or Looker BI experience preferred, but similar experience considered
-
Expert-level SQL; comfortable with window functions, complex joins, and query optimization in BigQuery or a comparable cloud warehouse
-
Experience delivering major analytical initiatives independently, from scoping through stakeholder presentation
-
Background in financial services, fintech, or lending is a meaningful plus - familiarity with origination, account management, or B2B lending workflows accelerates ramp
-
Experience with Git-based version control workflows
Soft Skills
-
Communicates analytical findings clearly to non-technical audiences
-
Comfortable navigating ambiguity
-
Collaborative, low-ego, and invested in the team's collective output
-
Strong instinct for knowing when to answer quickly vs. when to build properly
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with Google Cloud Platform
-
Familiarity with AI-assisted analytics or developer workflows
-
Exposure to credit risk, payment systems, or audit/compliance reporting contexts
