Lead Business Intelligence Engineer

What You'll Do

At sweetgreen, a Lead Business Intelligence Engineer is more than a data analyst. They are trusted partners to business stakeholders and their teammates and play an important role in driving the collection, measurement, and usage of sweetgreen’s data. Lead BI Engineers are responsible for delivering key insights and reporting that powers decision-making throughout the business. They act as advisors to stakeholders, leadership, and team members on our roadmap, new measurement techniques and analyses, and surfacing self-service data sets. Bottomline, they ensure that our business teams are empowered to take action against data. Help us to keep moving the needle!
