• Build and optimize data warehouses, semantic layers, and reporting frameworks.
• Develop executive dashboards and business intelligence solutions that support leadership decision-making.
• Partner with commercial, strategy, marketing, product, finance, and operations teams to identify business opportunities through data.
• Deliver forward-looking analytics, forecasting models, and predictive insights.
• Support performance marketing teams through attribution analysis, funnel reporting, customer acquisition insights, ROAS analysis, SKAN reporting, and media performance measurement.
• Identify opportunities to improve customer acquisition, retention, campaign ROI, and operational efficiency.
• Champion data governance, quality standards, and reporting consistency across the organization.
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating complex data into actionable recommendations.

Skills & Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience in Business Intelligence, Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Commercial Analytics roles.
• Strong hands-on expertise in SQL and data modelling.
• Experience building and maintaining modern data warehouses and ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Strong proficiency with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar platforms.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, AWS, or Azure.
• Working knowledge of Python for data processing, automation, or analytics.
• Strong understanding of customer analytics, commercial performance, and business KPIs.
• Experience supporting performance marketing analytics, attribution, ROAS, CAC, LTV, SKAN, and digital funnel measurement.
• Ability to deliver both descriptive and predictive analytics.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to identify growth opportunities through data.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience working with executive leadership and presenting business insights.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Statistics, or related fields.
