Role Overview

The Data Analyst 3 is an individual contributor on the Merchandising Insights & Strategic Operations (MISO) team within Inventory. MISO sits at the center of how inventory moves through Nordstrom, supporting Merch Ops, Inbound Flow, RP, and Supplier Compliance. You’ll build the analytics that help those teams see what’s happening, spot problems early, and make faster, better calls on how product flows from suppliers to our stores and customers.

What You Will Do

Build, maintain, and evolve Looker dashboards and self-service tools that Merch Ops, Inbound Flow, RP, and Supplier Compliance rely on to run the business. Partner with business stakeholders to understand their analytics needs, and turn open-ended questions into clear, reliable answers.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You’ll own the data models and BigQuery queries behind inventory reporting, with a focus on accuracy, scalability, and reuse. You’ll also use AI-assisted tools like Claude Code and Claude Desktop to speed up analysis, automate repetitive workflows, and raise the quality of your output.
