Sales Data Analyst (Remote)

At Lakeshore, we create innovative learning materials and world-class guest experiences for teachers, parents and children. Since 1954, we’ve grown into a global community—with a thriving e-commerce business, multiple catalogs, over 50 stores, a peerless national sales force, plus international offices that support our preeminent supply chain division. But today we’re working better, smarter and faster than ever—and setting our sights even higher. We’re building an infrastructure designed for scalability, embracing data-driven decision-making and using technology to improve efficiency and ensure the best tools for the best work.

Lakeshore Learning helps educators and families find tools that make learning meaningful, and great decisions at Lakeshore start with great data.  

As a Sales Data Analyst on our Sales Operations team, you'll turn raw data into clear, reliable reporting that our sales and cross-functional teams use every day to make smarter decisions. This is a role for someone who finds real satisfaction in getting the numbers right and telling a clean, honest story with data. 

A day on the job looks like this: 

• Build, maintain, and distribute sales reports, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses that track pipeline activity, customer trends, and sales performance. 
• Extract and transform data from Salesforce, Data lake and warehouse systems, and business intelligence platforms to support accurate, consistent reporting across the organization. 
• Run routine data audits and validation checks to catch gaps, flag inconsistencies, and keep reporting outputs trustworthy. 
• Partner with Retail, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Bid, IT, and other teams to understand reporting needs, troubleshoot data issues, and deliver timely insights. 
• Document reporting processes, support tool maintenance, and continuously look for ways to improve how we build and share data. 

Got the skills and experience? Here’s what we’re looking for:  

Required: 

• 2+ years of experience in sales analysis, business analysis, data analysis, or a closely related field 
• High proficiency in Excel, including Power Query, and experience working with a CRM such as Salesforce 
• Hands-on experience with a business intelligence tool such as Power BI or a comparable platform 
• Demonstrated ability to audit, validate, and maintain data accuracy across reporting workflows 
• This is a fully remote role; reliable home office setup and self-directed work habits required 

Preferred: 

• Experience supporting sales operations or working alongside sales and marketing teams 
• Familiarity with data lake environments or enterprise data extraction processes 
• Exposure to documenting reporting processes or supporting tool migrations 

What sets you apart: 

• You catch the error before anyone else does — and you fix it without being asked 
• You can translate a messy data request into a clean, useful output without needing every detail spelled out 
• You communicate what the data actually says, not just what stakeholders hoped to hear 
• You manage competing priorities without losing accuracy or dropping the ball on routine deliverables
