About the role
We are looking for a Business Intelligence Lead to own the business analytics and reporting that inform OP Labs' commercial and strategic decisions. This senior individual contributor role sits within Data & Strategy and combines business judgment, crypto knowledge, and clear communication to explain performance and recommend action.
Responsibilities
- Own recurring business reporting: define and maintain metrics, dashboards, and business reviews that explain changes in revenue, customer activity, commercial pipeline, and ecosystem position.
- Partner with leadership, Business Development, Product, and Finance to identify and prioritize business questions, scope the analysis, and translate findings into decisions.
- Own analytical SQL, metric definitions, and data validation. Reconcile commercial and onchain sources, document discrepancies, and partner with engineering on production data infrastructure.
- Analyze customer segments, pipeline conversion, revenue concentration, retention, and performance drivers across OP Enterprise, OP Mainnet, and the Superchain. Test competing explanations and make uncertainty explicit.
- Produce concise memos, presentations, and dashboards that state the finding, supporting evidence, business implications, and recommended action.
- Evaluate crypto market and competitive developments, including adoption, liquidity, stablecoin activity, and fees, in the context of customer needs and business economics.
- Build pricing analyses, revenue scenarios, market assessments, and partnership business cases with explicit assumptions and sensitivities; track results after decisions are made.
- Improve repeatable reporting and research workflows using SQL, BI tools, and AI-assisted analysis while remaining accountable for accuracy and source traceability.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience in business analytics, business intelligence, strategy, management consulting, strategic finance, or a related analytical role.
- A relevant degree or equivalent practical experience. Management consulting experience, an MBA, or deep crypto industry knowledge are equally valued.
- Strong commercial judgment and experience building financial models and business cases that informed pricing, customer prioritization, partnerships, or resource allocation.
- Experience owning recurring reporting and analytical work across business functions, including agreeing metric definitions, reconciling sources, and resolving conflicting interpretations.
- Strong SQL, spreadsheet modeling, and data visualization skills, with the ability to inspect underlying data and validate results independently. Python for analysis and automation is a plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including concise executive recommendations, clear explanations of uncertainty, and constructive challenge with senior stakeholders.
- Demonstrated crypto knowledge is required: working understanding of Ethereum, L2s, stablecoins, DeFi, and crypto business models, with the ability to explain what onchain metrics do and do not establish.
- Ability to independently identify and scope ambiguous business questions, prioritize work, manage stakeholders, and follow recommendations through to measurable results.
- Experience using AI tools to accelerate analysis and reporting while checking source data, calculations, and conclusions.
