We're looking for a Data Analyst who can turn raw data from multiple business systems into clear, actionable insight. This role leans heavily on business intelligence tooling and on connecting disparate systems — ERP, CRM, HR, and operational platforms — so that reporting reflects a single, trustworthy picture of the business. You'll work closely with IT, operations, and department leaders to build dashboards, automate data flows, and support better decision-making across the company. This position will focus on Business Intelligence & Systems Integration activities.

 

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, build, and maintain dashboards and reports using BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, or similar)

• Develop and maintain data pipelines and integrations between core business systems (ERP, CRM, databases, cloud platforms) using APIs, ETL/ELT tools, or custom scripts

• Partner with stakeholders across departments to gather reporting requirements and translate them into scalable data solutions

• Clean, validate, and model data to ensure accuracy and consistency across systems

• Monitor data integration jobs and troubleshoot failures, discrepancies, or data quality issues

• Automate recurring reporting processes to reduce manual data pulls

• Document data sources, transformation logic, and integration workflows

• Support ad hoc data analysis requests with clear, well-visualized findings

• Identify opportunities to improve data infrastructure, integration efficiency, and reporting accuracy

• Promote a strong quality culture aligned with Cooper Steel’s core priorities of Safety, Quality, and Production.

• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned.

 

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree in Data Analytics, Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)

• 2+ years of experience in a data analyst, BI analyst, or similar role

• Hands-on experience with a BI platform (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar)

• Strong SQL skills for querying and transforming data across multiple systems

• Experience integrating data between platforms via APIs, connectors, or ETL tools (e.g., Power Automate, Azure Data Factory, Python scripting, or similar)

• Solid understanding of data modeling and relational database concepts

• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail

• Ability to communicate technical findings to non-technical stakeholders

 

WHO ARE YOU?

• Proactive in your approach to independently handling multiple projects; efficiently multitask across various phases of projects from development to implementation.

• Subject Matter Expert of specific application technology with demonstrative ability to convey both technical and functional concepts. 

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

• Energetic, active collaborator able to balance the tactical against the big picture.

• Innovative problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking skills
