Job description

Data & BI Lead (Private Equity backed)

B2B SaaS (Recently acquired by Private Equity)

This is a pivotal role for a data leader who can design and deliver a modern, scalable data environment to give the C‑suite clear visibility across ARR, financial performance, and commercial operations. The company is consolidating ERP and CRM systems, implementing Microsoft Fabric, and building a central data lake to bring everything under one roof.

You’ll be responsible for defining the architecture, integrating key systems, and delivering executive‑level reporting that supports data‑driven decision‑making and post acquisition integration.

You’ll join a B2B SaaS company, newly acquired by a top tier Private Equity firm, that will be going through rapid M&A fuelled growth over the next few years, so the data infrastructure you’ll be responsible for will need to be scalable & reliable.

Key Responsibilities

Own the end‑to‑end data architecture using Microsoft Fabric / Azure.

Build a single source of truth combining data from ERP (GL systems), CRM, and other core business applications.

Design scalable pipelines and models that can easily incorporate newly acquired businesses.

Analytics & Reporting

Develop executive dashboards and self‑service BI capabilities (Power BI preferred).

Deliver C‑suite reporting on ARR, bookings, churn, revenue recognition, and operational KPIs.

Maintain data accuracy, governance, and standard definitions across teams.

Governance & Best Practice

Define and enforce data modelling, naming, and version control standards.

Ensure data quality, lineage, and security throughout the ecosystem.

Establish repeatable processes for ingestion, validation, and reporting.

Cross‑Functional Leadership

Partner closely with Finance, RevOps, and IT to align systems and reporting needs.

Translate business questions into data models and analytical outputs.

Build and mentor a small team of engineers/analysts as the data function scales.

Experience Required

Proven experience owning or leading Data & BI environments in a high‑growth or PE‑backed business.

Deep hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Azure Data Factory, SQL, Synapse, or related tools.

Strong understanding of ERP (GL/finance data) and CRM (sales and revenue data) integration.

Financial literacy — understands ARR, MRR, deferred revenue, margin, and related commercial metrics.

Track record of designing scalable, best‑practice data environments that can handle acquisitions and system consolidation.

Excellent stakeholder management skills — able to communicate technical detail to non‑technical executives.

Ideal Profile

Hybrid of architect + strategist + doer — someone who can design, build, and operate the data environment.

Pragmatic and commercial: knows what “good enough” looks like in a PE timeline.

Comfortable operating in fast‑changing, post‑acquisition environment.

Why Join

Build a modern data capability from the ground up.

Your work will have a direct impact on the CFO & Board, and will drive strategic decisions.

Be part of a PE‑backed value creation journey with real scale and impact; working alongside one of the most high profile PE firms in Tech
