Staff Business Analytics Engineer

Bold in how we dream and innovate Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities Accountable for results and best in class outcomes Visionary in future focused problem-solving Exceptional in execution and impact

The Role Proofpoint is building a single, governed analytical foundation for the company at a moment when it matters most: a Snowflake platform consolidation is underway, a transformative acquisition is signed and pending, and the company is moving toward AI-native analytics. The business definitions already exist and are Finance-approved. What's missing is the durable, auditable, machine-readable layer that lets dashboards, self-service tools, and AI agents all give the same answer. You will build it.

You own the analytical and semantic layer in Snowflake: governed data models, metric logic, and the context that sits between raw data and business consumers. IT and Data Engineering own ingestion and upstream pipelines. You partner with them to establish the analytical requirements, interfaces, validation standards, and data models that enable consistent downstream consumption. You are the technical counterpart to two business-facing pillars and to the Senior Director who owns Proofpoint's ARR/NARR metric definitions. Their recurring questions become your reusable assets. You’ll be expected to understand the business behind the questions, not just the schema behind the data.

This is a senior-level individual contributor role, reporting to the Senior Director, Business Analytics.

Location: This is a hybrid role based in our Sunnyvale, CA HQ, 4 days a week.
