* Build integrated data pipelines across finance systems, cloud data platforms, and CRM.
* Extend the unified data model with financial fact and dimension tables.
* Create joined‑up views of customer, partner, and business‑unit performance.
* Work with data engineering to enable natural‑language analytics tools.
* Own the KPI framework and deliver executive‑ready dashboards in Power BI.
* Implement automated KPI alerts and enable self‑service analytics.
* Partner with FP&A, commercial finance, and analytics teams to align reporting.
Tools & Technologies
* SQL (advanced)
* Cloud data platforms: Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
* BI tools: Power BI (preferred), Tableau, or Looker
* ETL/ELT tooling and data modelling frameworks
* CRM data (e.g., Salesforce)
* Natural‑language analytics tools (e.g., TextQL)
* Notebook‑based analytics (e.g., Hex) - desirable
* AI‑assisted automation / anomaly detection - desirable
What You Bring
* 6-10+ years in BI, data analytics, or financial analytics.
* Strong SQL and cloud data platform experience.
* Hands‑on dashboarding expertise in Power BI or similar.
* Experience designing data models and ETL/ELT pipelines.
* Solid financial literacy and confidence presenting to senior leaders.
* Ability to influence across data, finance, and commercial teams.
