IT Data Analyst
Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions is seeking a Data Analyst to support business requirements gathering, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and technical specification development for analytics, data, and AI-enabled solutions. Based in Boise, ID (hybrid, 3 days onsite per week), this role sits within the Central Data & AI — Standards & Solutions team and reports to the Director, Data Analytics & AI. It serves as a key bridge between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams, translating complex or evolving business needs into clear, testable, and actionable requirements. The primary focus is front-end discovery, requirements definition, documentation, validation, and delivery coordination — not engineering build activities.

Partner with business stakeholders to gather, clarify, and document requirements for analytics, reporting, data products, semantic models, and AI-enabled solutions
Translate ambiguous business requests into structured problem statements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications
Conduct exploratory data analysis using SQL to validate assumptions, assess data availability, and identify data quality issues
Collaborate with data engineers, analytics engineers, BI developers, and AI/ML practitioners to ensure business logic is accurately reflected in delivered solutions
Facilitate discovery sessions, requirements workshops, stakeholder interviews, and cross-functional alignment meetings
Create and maintain documentation including business requirements documents, process flows, metric definitions, test scenarios, and decision logs
Support Agile delivery by writing user stories, documenting acceptance criteria, and participating in sprint planning and prioritization
Identify gaps between stakeholder expectations, available data, and technical feasibility; proactively communicate risks and tradeoffs
Support user acceptance testing and promote consistent use of data definitions and standardized analytics practices
The skills you bring
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Computer Science, Finance, or equivalent practical experience
2+ years of experience in a data analyst, business analyst, BI analyst, product analyst, or similar requirements-focused role
1–2 years of hands-on SQL experience (joins, filters, aggregations, CTEs, exploratory profiling)
Demonstrated ability to gather stakeholder requirements and translate them into clear documentation for technical teams
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to adapt style for both technical and non-technical audiences
Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent

Nice to have
Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, or GitLab; exposure to Agile methodologies, data governance practices, Power BI semantic models, or AI/ML analytics initiatives
