Reporting to the Manager, Business Intelligence, this role serves as a data enabler within the Data Culture Office (DCO-BI), supporting decision‑making across Forecasting, Strategy, Marketing, and Sales. The Data Analyst translates business questions into well‑defined, reusable datasets that support self‑service analytics and reliable decision‑making. Working at the intersection of business and data engineering, the role focuses on data modelling, definition, and cataloguing, while partnering with Data Engineers to ensure data is properly structured, validated, and aligned to business needs. Acting as a key point of contact for data‑related inquiries, the role helps clarify requirements, identify appropriate data sources, and guides how data should be interpreted. Ad‑hoc analysis is performed as needed, primarily to inform scalable data design rather than one‑off outputs. Success is measured by the quality, consistency, and adoption of data assets that enable faster, more confident decision‑making. These datasets may also support downstream systems such as eCommerce, CRM, and AI platforms, requiring strong standards for accuracy and reliability.
