Data Analyst Job at Snoutplans in Detroit

🐶 Our mission

Every pet should get the care they need, regardless of cost. Vet med prices are up 40% since 2020, and pet owners are stuck having to pick between their bank account and furry friend. At Snout, we aim to solve this by enabling clinics to offer wellness plans that actually work.

🚀 The opportunity

Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the U.S. We’re a small but mighty startup team of <30 employees. We’re on the lookout for an experienced Data Analyst to help us turn data into our competitive advantage as we scale our mission to make veterinary care accessible to every pet owner. Ideally, we’d like to hire someone based in the Detroit Metro area to work from our Troy, Michigan office.

💻 The role

As our first Data Analyst, you'll be the vital link between data and decision making by partnering with teams across marketing, sales, operations, and finance to transform complex business questions into actionable insights. You'll design reports, dashboards, and visualizations using SQL and analytical tools, conducting exploratory analysis to uncover patterns that drive strategy. Your days will be spent translating stakeholder needs into technical solutions, hands‑on data work, and delivering findings that spark immediate action. This role demands business acumen, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities while building scalable reporting infrastructure that evolves with our growing company.

Your impact will ripple across the organization. By transforming raw data into clear, trusted insights, you'll empower every team to make confident, data‑backed decisions that accelerate growth and optimize operations. You'll establish data as a core asset, foster a data‑driven culture, and give colleagues the tools to answer their own questions – turning curiosity into competitive advantage.
