Sales Data Analyst (Remote)

Lakeshore Learning helps educators and families find tools that make learning meaningful, and great decisions at Lakeshore start with great data.  

As a Sales Data Analyst on our Sales Operations team, you'll turn raw data into clear, reliable reporting that our sales and cross-functional teams use every day to make smarter decisions. This is a role for someone who finds real satisfaction in getting the numbers right and telling a clean, honest story with data. 

A day on the job looks like this: 

• Build, maintain, and distribute sales reports, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses that track pipeline activity, customer trends, and sales performance. 
• Extract and transform data from Salesforce, Data lake and warehouse systems, and business intelligence platforms to support accurate, consistent reporting across the organization. 
• Run routine data audits and validation checks to catch gaps, flag inconsistencies, and keep reporting outputs trustworthy. 
• Partner with Retail, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Bid, IT, and other teams to understand reporting needs, troubleshoot data issues, and deliver timely insights. 
• Document reporting processes, support tool maintenance, and continuously look for ways to improve how we build and share data. 

Got the skills and experience? Here’s what we’re looking for:  

Required: 

• 2+ years of experience in sales analysis, business analysis, data analysis, or a closely related field 
• High proficiency in Excel, including Power Query, and experience working with a CRM such as Salesforce 
• Hands-on experience with a business intelligence tool such as Power BI or a comparable platform 
• Demonstrated ability to audit, validate, and maintain data accuracy across reporting workflows 
• This is a fully remote role; reliable home office setup and self-directed work habits required 

Preferred: 

• Experience supporting sales operations or working alongside sales and marketing teams 
• Familiarity with data lake environments or enterprise data extraction processes 
• Exposure to documenting reporting processes or supporting tool migrations 

What sets you apart: 

• You catch the error before anyone else does — and you fix it without being asked 
• You can translate a messy data request into a clean, useful output without needing every detail spelled out 
• You communicate what the data actually says, not just what stakeholders hoped to hear 
• You manage competing priorities without losing accuracy or dropping the ball on routine deliverables
