Job Description:

What will you do?

You will develop dashboards, reports, and KPI tools that:

• Deliver trusted, accessible data to our three core audiences — senior finance leadership, financial analysts, and business partners.
• Replace manual processes and reduce repetitive effort across Finance.
• Highlight insights, trends, variances, and key performance drivers.
• Support essential activities such as budget reviews, trend analysis, and quarter‑end reporting.

• Evolve as business needs change and new opportunities emerge.

• While many of our existing products are data‑heavy, you’ll also help shift the portfolio toward more visual, insight‑driven, decision‑ready dashboards.
• Shape and steward high‑quality data

You’ll work closely with our Data Management team to:

• Transform raw data into user‑friendly, reliable Tableau data sources
• Define and refine KPIs used across Finance
• Conduct high‑level reconciliations between systems
• Flag data quality issues or unexpected anomalies
• Investigate issues when something looks “off” and act as the last line of defense
• Pay extra attention during quarter‑end when metric accuracy is most critical
• You’re not expected to own pipelines or deep system monitoring — IT and Data Management handle that — but your analytical lens is essential to keeping Finance’s metrics trusted.
• Own the full analytics product lifecycle
• Every Senior Data Analyst on the team is responsible for their product’s:
• Design
• Development
• Testing
• Documentation
• Training and user support
• Security and usage monitoring are done centrally, but everything else is in your hands — creating a meaningful sense of ownership and impact.

To excel in this senior role, you should bring:

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience developing Tableau dashboards and data sources, with a track record of delivering high‑quality, scalable analytics solutions.
• Deep understanding of analytical data design, including how to structure, transform, and validate data for reliable reporting.
• Proficiency with SQL or similar tools to investigate, prepare, and reconcile data as needed.
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex or ambiguous problems, especially when requirements are unclear or evolving.
• Strong business and technical acumen, with the ability to translate business questions into practical, data‑driven solutions.

This unique role offers:

 

• High impact – The dashboards you build directly influence how Finance leaders understand performance and make strategic decisions.

• Business exposure – Gain deep insight into the metrics and drivers that underpin Sun Life Canada's financial performance.

• Innovation mindset – Identify opportunities to design new metrics and uncover insights that inform our CFO and leadership teams.

• Growth opportunities – As you develop trust and capability, you'll have opportunities to lead projects, present to senior leadership, and take on greater visibility.
