What makes the role meaty?

• Own the Business Analytics strategy and roadmap, defining how analytics can create the greatest impact across the organization.
• Partner with senior leadership on high-impact business decisions across growth, customer, marketing, supply chain and operations.
• Identify and prioritize the most important business problems and ensure the analytics organization is focused on what matters most.
• Establish a strong culture of "one version of the truth" through standardized metrics, measurement frameworks and data governance.
• Challenge assumptions and conventional thinking with data while bringing strong commercial judgment and an understanding of business trade-offs.
• Build analytical frameworks that help leadership understand what happened, why it happened, what we should do next and what impact we can expect.
• Drive deep-dive diagnostics across business performance, customer behaviour, growth, unit economics and operational efficiency.
• Translate complex analysis into clear, strategic recommendations and influence senior stakeholders to act on them.
• Build a scalable, AI-first analytics organization, embedding AI into analytical workflows, automation, insight generation and decision-making.
• Partner closely with Data Engineering and Data Platform teams to shape a reliable, scalable and high-quality analytical data ecosystem.
• Build robust experimentation, measurement and forecasting capabilities that enable faster and better decision-making.
• Create self-serve analytics capabilities that democratize data and reduce dependency on the central analytics team.
• Build, lead and develop a high-performing team of BAs, SBAs and analytics leaders, while creating strong career paths and raising the bar on analytical and business thinking.
• Develop the next layer of analytics leadership and build an organization that proactively identifies business opportunities rather than simply responding to reporting requests.
• Establish the operating rhythm, standards and ways of working for the analytics function.
• Stay accountable beyond the insight - partner with business teams through execution and measure whether the expected business impact was delivered.
