Analytics Excellence Manager

About the role

A cross-team function that owns how analytics and BI work is done: the practice, quality, and enablement layer that sits across domain teams. This is a player-coach role that leads the Analytics Excellence Guild and the broader analytics community without formal direct reports.

What you'll do

• Design and continuously improve the governance model for BI infrastructure (Power BI, Tableau, AI agents), set best practice for contribution and reporting: dashboard style guide, standard templates, quality expectations, delivery recommendations, documentation rules.
• Drive adoption of these standards across Data & BI and the broader analytics community.
• Design and continuously improve the education and certification programme for data users (training materials, documented process).
• Establish and facilitate formats for community engagement (office hours, meetups, workshops) and provide structured mentorship to analytics engineers, analysts and advanced business users.
• Review critical designs, Tier-1 data products, and high-usage dashboards and AI agents; advise or execute improvements.
• Tackle highly complex, cross-team analytics engineering challenges directly. Develop cross-domain reusable data products: dashboards, marts and pipelines serving multiple teams/departments.
• Surface systemic problems in data quality, tooling, and developer experience and drive their resolution.

What you'll need

• Demonstrated success building and sustaining a technical community, guild, or practice, running formats like office hours, workshops, or mentorship that people actually engage with.
• Experience designing enablement or certification programmes: training materials, documented processes, and a credible path for ramping up data literacy across varied skill levels.
• A facilitator's instinct: able to drive adoption, build consensus, and mentor across teams through influence rather than authority.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with at least one major BI platform (Power BI and/or Tableau), including what separates a well-built, maintainable dashboard from a fragile one.
• 7–10 years in analytics engineering, BI, or data roles, with a track record as a strong generalist across the modern data stack.
• Hands-on capability with dbt and a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred), sufficient to build cross-domain reusable data products and review Tier-1 work credibly.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with emerging AI/agent-based analytics tooling and a pragmatic view of how to govern it.
• Ability to diagnose systemic issues in data quality, tooling, and developer experience and drive them to resolution.

What they offer

• Hybrid working with Workflex relocation opportunity (up to 30 days per year abroad).
• 29 vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off.
• Discounted Wellhub membership and corporate benefits.
• Modern office in Berlin-Friedrichshain with height-adjustable desks and barista coffee.
• Onboarding with welcome bag and buddy program.
• Short decision-making processes and transparent all-hands meetings.
