Senior Business Analyst IV – Agriculture

The Senior Business Analyst Agriculture is ASIs embedded data and business analysis lead for one of our most strategic agricultural customers. This person sits with the customer works shoulder to shoulder with their operations agronomy and analytics people and turns the data coming off ASIs autonomy platform and the customers farm management systems into decisions that make the operation more efficient and our autonomous system measurably better.

This is a hybrid business and technical role meaning that the work is not building data pipelines its understanding an agricultural operation well enough to know which questions matter pulling together data from systems that were never designed to talk to each other and assembling the full story - what changed what it was worth and what we should do next.

Technical ability is required to get at the data and to specify what should eventually be automated but the value of this role is in the analysis the judgment and the ability to influence engineering and business decisions on both sides of the customer relationship.

• Customer Partnership & Embedded Analysis
  • Work on site with the customer on a regular cadence building trusted working relationships with operations leadership agronomy equipment and maintenance teams and the customers own data analysts.

  • Explore higher-order questions as data maturity allows such as the relationship between operating patterns and component wear or between agronomic inputs and output efficiency.
