The opportunity

Our client is an established, fast-growing residential real estate company in metro Atlanta that relies on data to price homes, run its operations, and serve homeowners at scale. Its product, data, and applied AI group is growing, and this role is a key early hire.

This is not a dashboard-maintenance job. You will be the analyst senior leaders call when they need a real answer. You will frame the question, pull and model the data yourself, and present a clear recommendation. You will report directly to the executive who leads product, data, and AI, and you will have a big say in how analytics works across the business.

What you'll do

• Partner with business leaders. Work directly with leaders in operations, acquisitions, sales, marketing, and finance. Turn loosely defined business problems into clear questions you can answer with data.
• Do the analysis yourself. Write the SQL, build the models in Python, check the results, and own the work from the first query to the final recommendation.
• Drive decisions. Turn findings into concise recommendations that executives act on. Say plainly what the data shows, what it doesn't, and what you would do.
• Use AI tools every day. Use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Cursor to speed up queries, code, exploration, and write-ups. Help the team find practical ways to work faster.
• Set the standard for analytics. Define key business metrics, improve data quality, and bring structure to how the business measures performance.
• Raise the bar for others. Review work, share methods, and serve as the go-to analyst for less experienced team members and business users.

What you bring

• Strong business judgment first. You know which questions matter, which numbers look wrong, and when an answer is good enough to act on.
• 7+ years in analytics, including a track record as the lead analyst on high-stakes business problems.
• Advanced SQL. You write complex queries yourself and are comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets.
• Solid Python for analysis and modeling, using tools such as pandas, NumPy, and Jupyter.
• Daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your own work, with examples of how they made you faster or better.
• Clear communication with senior leaders, in writing and in person. You can explain a complex analysis in a few sentences.
• Ownership. You take a problem from a vague request to a finished recommendation with little hand-holding.
• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as economics, statistics, math, engineering, or finance, or equivalent experience.

Nice to have

• Experience in residential real estate, proptech, lending, insurance, or another business built around transactions or operations
• Experience with pricing, forecasting, funnel or conversion analysis, or unit economics
• Familiarity with a modern cloud data stack such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or dbt
• Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker
• Experience building with LLM APIs or automating analytical workflows with AI
• Experience at a growth-stage company where analytics was being built out
