Junior Business System Analyst (AI & Data Focus)

Are you starting your journey in the tech world and excited to explore how data and AI can solve real-world business challenges? This role is an opportunity to build technical skills and gain hands-on experience in data automation, Python scripting, and AI-driven solutions while working at the intersection of marketing and technology.

We’re looking for a curious and motivated learner with a foundation in data, SQL, and coding who’s ready to grow and contribute to cutting-edge data projects in a fast-evolving industry.

This is a hybrid role, with both office-based work at the H/L Oakland office and remote work.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Learn how to build and manage data automation processes within a modern marketing technology ecosystem.

• Collaborate with data engineers to help build systems that automate and store data from platforms like Facebook, Google Ads, LinkedIn, and Marketo
• Work on data projects using Python, SQL, and AI tools (like GPT) to automate tasks, improve data quality, and deliver client-facing dashboards
• Help create and manage ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to move data efficiently between systems
• Contribute to documentation efforts and help map out processes for automation and reporting
• Support dashboard development (using tools like Tableau) and assist in generating actionable insights

ABOUT YOU:

We’re not looking for a seasoned pro—just someone excited to grow and build their technical skills. Here’s what will set you up for success:

• Basic SQL knowledge (you know how to write queries and work with databases)
• A foundation in Python—even if it’s from personal projects, classes, or online courses
• An interest in AI tools and automation—you’re curious about how GPT and other AI technologies can help solve problems
• Some exposure to digital marketing concepts or data is a plus, but not required
• A collaborative mindset—you enjoy working with others and are not afraid to ask questions

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

• You’re eager to learn new technologies and apply them to solving real problems
• You enjoy tinkering and problem-solving, whether it’s writing scripts, building dashboards, or finding ways to improve processes
• You’re detail-oriented and willing to dig into data to ensure accuracy and quality
• You’ve completed projects or coursework in data, coding, or analytics
• You want to grow your career in data, automation, and AI

WHY JOIN US:
