Sr. Data Analyst

About the Role

Gorilla Commerce is looking for a Sr. Data Analyst to support the Controller and broader Finance organization. This role will focus on transforming large, complex, and highly manual data into actionable insights and automated processes. While not a traditional accounting role, the ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of financial statements and business flows to contextualize data analysis. This position is perfect for someone who is detail-oriented, technically strong in data handling, and excited to help streamline reporting and decision-making across the company.

What You’ll Do

· Data Management & Analysis

• Own large, complex financial and operational datasets (NetSuite, marketplace reports, external files) and translate them into usable formats.
• Build, streamline, and automate recurring data models and reporting processes to reduce manual workload.
• Develop advanced Excel and/or BI dashboards (Power BI, Toolio, etc.) for financial and operational performance tracking.

· Financial & Operational Insights

• Partner with Finance and Accounting teams to provide analytical support for key business questions (COGS allocation, SKU profitability, channel analysis, etc.).
• Support month-end and quarter-end reporting by structuring large data extracts into reconciled reporting packages.
• Assist in variance analysis across sales channels, products, and cost drivers to identify risks and opportunities.

· Process Improvement

• Identify inefficiencies in current manual processes and propose/implement data-driven solutions.
• Support automation initiatives that enable scalability of reporting and analysis.
• Collaborate cross-functionally (IT, FP&A, Inventory, Accounting) to ensure data integrity and improve upstream inputs.

· Ad Hoc & Strategic Support

• Take a leading role in ad hoc data pulls and analysis to support executive decision-making.
• Partner with leadership on presentations for private equity sponsors, board, and internal stakeholders.
• Provide financial data validation for projects such as pricing analysis, new channel expansion, and strategic planning.

Skills & Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in data analytics, FP&A, or finance/accounting support (e-commerce/CPG preferred).
• Advanced skills in Excel (pivot tables, power queries, formulas, VBA/macros a plus).
• Experience with large dataset manipulation (NetSuite, Power BI, Toolio, SQL or similar systems).
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills; ability to work with incomplete or messy datasets.
• Basic understanding of financial statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and business processes.
• Intellectual curiosity and initiative — ability to find new ways to simplify and improve processes.
• Comfortable managing multiple projects, meeting deadlines, and working independently with limited supervision.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate findings clearly to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
