Business Intelligence Analyst

GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. We received a seed investment from Y Combinator in 2015 and have pursued a strategy of 'Sustainable Growth' ever since: achieving six consecutive years of profitability and positive cash-flow while more than quadrupling our revenue, our customer base, and our team. In 2022, we raised $50 million to accelerate the next stage of our growth.

Through The GiveCampus Social Mobility Initiative, we've donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low-income students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to Y Combinator's Top Companies list and the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

While we operate at meaningful scale (we've facilitated more than $6 billion in charitable giving), we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we're growing to help schools achieve even greater results.

Our purpose-driven team of 90+ is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We're looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high-quality education.

As the first-ever Business Intelligence team member at GiveCampus, you will be the cornerstone of our data-driven future. Reporting into Business Operations, you will own and build the Business Intelligence function from the ground up—working closely with Sales, Partner Success, Data Engineering, and Data Science to surface actionable insights, architect backend systems, and guide the adoption of modern BI tools.

We will measure your success with one simple question: what insights can you elevate that help  schools raise more money? This is a unique opportunity for a high-impact, insight-obsessed individual contributor to define the future of BI at GiveCampus. You will not only answer questions -we want you to find the ones we didn’t even know to ask.

• Deliver proactive, actionable insights that drive company strategy and daily operations
• Partner with Data Science and cross-functional teams to ensure alignment and consistency in metrics and definitions
• Educate and empower business users to become more data-literate through training and documentation
• Establish best practices for dashboard development, insight delivery, and stakeholder engagement

What we are looking for:

• Proficient in SQL and Excel for querying, transformation, and analysis
• Experience working with modern BI tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Sigma, etc)
• Deep understanding of data structures, metrics, and visualization principles
• Self-starter with a bias toward action—thrives in ambiguous environments and creates clarity through insight
• Cross-functional communicator—comfortable translating between technical and business audiences
• Proven experience building dashboards and surfacing business-critical insights
• Strong understanding of data quality, governance, and scalability
