About the Role
A leading private equity firm is seeking a Senior BI Analyst to join their Data & BI team, which sits within the wider IT & Technology function. The role is Power BI-focused but goes far beyond dashboard development, requiring a strong understanding of data, analytics, and finance.
You will work across the full BI lifecycle, including:
* Gathering and translating business requirements from finance, procurement, and operational teams.
* Structuring, cleaning, and transforming raw data from legacy systems and unstructured formats (CSV, ERP extracts).
* Developing insightful visualisations and dashboards in Power BI (other tools like Tableau or Qlik may occasionally be used).
* Establishing repeatable processes to ensure data accuracy for management, finance teams, and board reporting.
* Supervising third-party vendors and managing certain BI-related contracts.
The Ideal Candidate
Successful candidates often come from two backgrounds:
* Ex-consultants with strong generalist skills, finance process understanding, and stakeholder management experience.
* Startup/Hands-on technical backgrounds with a commercial mindset, able to problem-solve and deliver across diverse technology environments.
Requirements:
* Strong Power BI skills (mandatory)
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Ability to handle messy, unstructured data and create structured outputs
* Flexible, technology-agnostic mindset
* English (mandatory); German (beneficial but not essential)
Next Steps:
The selection process will include a technical case exercise to assess real-world handling of complex data.
