The Senior Analytics Engineer leads the recurring reporting and data processes behind several of the firm's most important administrative functions. This role reports to the Business Intelligence Senior Manager and combines hands-on SQL analysis and report development, working with Finance, Accounting, and HR through the firm's product management team. The person in this seat runs processes with hard monthly and annual deadlines, keeps the underlying data accurate, and produces reporting that firm leadership relies on.
Strong SQL analysis is the single most important qualification for this role: the ability to read and unravel complex existing SQL matters more than authoring new code. Experience in a law firm or professional services environment is a major plus, and hands-on report development in Power BI, Tableau, or Cognos is highly valued. The ideal candidate is meticulous, discreet with sensitive data, and comfortable owning processes end to end.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Own recurring operational reporting and data processes across firm financial and HR data domains, from daily validation through month-end and year-end close
Read, analyze, and understand complex SQL (views, nested views, stored procedures) to explain how reported numbers are produced, diagnose discrepancies, and make targeted corrections where needed
Monitor daily data validation reporting, investigate discrepancies such as conflicting HR records from upstream system changes, and apply corrections, judging which issues must be fixed before month-end close and which can wait; coordinate with the business analysts who track the same reports
Execute month-end and year-end close activities, including reconciliations and year-end reporting deliverables
Prepare and distribute highly confidential deliverables for firm leadership with complete accuracy and discretion
Develop and maintain reports in the firm's BI platforms (Power BI, Cognos) and support remaining legacy Crystal reports
Work with the firm's product management team to translate organizational and system changes, such as HRIS changes, into data and report updates
Trace data issues back to their source systems and coordinate corrections with data engineering and system owners
Maintain clear documentation and step-by-step procedures for all recurring processes so they can be run by others
Contribute subject-matter knowledge to report modernization efforts, bring consultants up to speed on legacy reports, and validate converted outputs against existing reports
Respond to ad hoc analysis and data requests from firm leadership and administrative departments with fast, accurate turnaround
Reduce recurring manual
