Company:

A leading media organisation is expanding its analytics capability as they move further into podcasting, video, and next‑generation consumer experiences.

Responsibilities:

As a Lead BI Analyst, you will guide the analytics direction of a small squad, and work with teams in multiple markets to define KPIs and reporting requirements.

Key responsibilities include

  • Driving analytical strategy within the squad and shaping high‑value project opportunities
  • Working with engineering and data science to enhance data products and analytical workflows
  • Performing deep‑dive analysis on consumer behaviour, trends, and product performance
  • Visualise and report on data trends/insights using Power BI
  • Use Power BI end to end - from visualisation to DAX and data modelling
  • Delivering analytical solutions using SQL, including exploratory modelling
  • Ensuring quality and rigour in analytic processes, testing, and data validation
  • Gathering requirements and translating business needs into clear analytical outputs
  • Partnering with stakeholders to iterate on dashboards, reporting, and UX‑informed insight
  • Contributing to the evolution of data tooling as they transition away from legacy BI platforms

Your Skills and Experience:

  • Commercial experience across SQL
  • Strong experience in Power BI including DAX and data modelling
  • Proven capability in conducting in‑depth analysis beyond dashboarding
  • Experience collaborating with engineering and data science teams in a product‑focused environment
  • Strong stakeholder and project management skills
  • Ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insight for non‑technical audiences
  • Understanding of UX, UI, or data visualisation best practice is beneficial
