As a Senior Analyst on the Finance Analytics team, you'll play a key role in shaping how data informs decisions at Zillow. This position focuses on business intelligence (BI) and data visualization, primarily using Tableau, Domo, and Workday reporting, with SQL-based data preparation in Databricks. You'll turn stakeholder questions into clear metrics, trustworthy dashboards, and scalable self-serve reporting - helping drive operational excellence and support innovative initiatives across the company.

• Translate stakeholder questions into clear metrics, semantic definitions, and curated, certified data sources to improve consistency and trust.

• Perform final data preparation steps ("last-mile ETL") in Databricks using SQL to shape, join, and quality-check data for BI consumption.

• Validate data against system-of-record sources and implement robust testing and documentation to ensure data quality and trust.

• Design and prototype Databricks-based data models for production by data engineers, supporting reporting, system integrations, and AI initiatives.

• Support teams in preparing datasets for AI and automation tools by structuring inputs, metadata, and access controls.

• Operate within an Agile cadence to prioritize work, plan sprints, and deliver incremental value.

• Elevate data literacy through office hours, training, and clear, audience-appropriate storytelling and visuals.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. "Remote" employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions.

In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.

Who you are

• 4+ years of experience in BI/Analytics, creating clear data visualizations and dashboards for business stakeholders, with hands-on experience in BI tools (Tableau and/or Domo preferred) & strong SQL skills.

• Practical experience with Databricks (primarily Databricks SQL/SQL notebooks) for final data preparation and transformation. 

• Strong communication and data storytelling skills, with the ability to clarify requirements and present insights to non-technical audiences.

• Domain knowledge in Finance (e.g., FP&A, Accounting, budgeting, billing), or demonstrated ability to quickly learn new domains and apply BI best practices. 

• Working knowledge of data governance concepts (definitions, certification, lineage, role-based access control/RBAC, privacy/PII handling) and quality assurance practices.

• Experience working in Agile environments and managing priorities with multiple stakeholders.

• Familiarity with work management tools (e.g., Jira), version control (Git), and light scripting for analytics productivity (e.g., basic Python), while maintaining a SQL-first orientation.

• Experience enabling AI-assisted workflows (e.g., preparing datasets for copilots or chat interfaces) and understanding of data readiness for AI is highly desired.

• Experience with Workday reporting and familiarity with Workday financial data structures is a plus. 

• Here at Zillow, we value the experience and perspective of candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. We encourage you to apply if you have transferable skills or related experiences.
