Analytics Engineer, GTM Analytics

📋 Description

• • Vanta is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Analytics Engineer to join our Go-To-Market (GTM) Analytics team. This pivotal role is the first of its kind within the GTM organization, tasked with establishing the foundational data infrastructure that will empower trusted, scalable, and reliable insights across all GTM functions. You will be instrumental in transforming raw data into a governed, reusable, and single source of truth for critical business metrics, directly impacting revenue decisions and strategic planning.
• • As an Analytics Engineer, you will operate at the dynamic intersection of data engineering and business analytics. Your primary responsibility will be to design, build, and maintain robust data marts and a comprehensive semantic layer specifically for GTM metrics. This involves translating complex business requirements into well-structured, efficient, and accurate data models that can be easily consumed by analysts and stakeholders.
• • A core aspect of this role is building Revenue Data Marts. You will be responsible for designing and implementing dbt-based data marts that capture and consolidate key GTM metrics such as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), Net Revenue Retention (NRR), Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), sales pipeline, quota attainment, and bookings. A critical requirement is ensuring 100% reconciliation of these metrics with the Finance department's source of truth, guaranteeing data integrity and trust.
• • You will also establish and own the semantic layer for GTM analytics. This involves encoding complex business logic and precise metric definitions into a governed, version-controlled system. This semantic layer will standardize how Vanta defines, calculates, and interprets key performance indicators (KPIs), ensuring consistency and clarity across the organization.
• • Close collaboration with GTM Analysts is essential. You will act as a technical partner, translating their deep understanding of stakeholder needs and business context into scalable, well-tested, and maintainable data models. This partnership will enable true self-service analytics, empowering analysts to derive insights more efficiently.
• • Driving metric governance is another key responsibility. You will work closely with Finance, Revenue Operations (RevOps), and business leaders to resolve any definitional conflicts, establish clear ownership for each metric, and maintain cross-functional alignment on critical KPIs. This ensures that everyone is speaking the same data language.
• • This role will also play a crucial part in enabling the future of analytics at Vanta by creating clean, well-documented, and reliable datasets. These datasets will serve as the foundation for powering AI assistants, advanced analytical tools, and automated reporting solutions, driving innovation in how we leverage data.
• • You will have a significant influence on the data platform roadmap. By collaborating closely with the central Data Engineering team, you will help shape data platform capabilities, optimize the performance of data pipelines, and implement comprehensive testing frameworks to ensure the highest levels of data quality.
• • Championing best practices in data modeling and dbt development is expected. You will establish and promote standards for dbt development, documentation, testing, and deployment processes that are designed to scale effectively as Vanta's data needs evolve and grow.
• • Success in this role requires a strong data quality mindset, a passion for accuracy, and a proactive approach to implementing testing, reconciliation processes, and data quality checks to prevent issues before they impact business operations. You will be the guardian of data integrity for GTM metrics.
• • Furthermore, you will be encouraged to explore and leverage AI to amplify your skills and enhance your work, demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact. This forward-thinking approach will be key to Vanta's data strategy.
• • This role offers a unique opportunity to build something foundational from the ground up, directly impacting Vanta's growth trajectory and establishing a new standard for data-driven decision-making within the GTM organization. You will be a key player in shaping how Vanta understands and leverages its go-to-market data.
