The Opportunity

A leading marketplace platform is seeking an experienced BI Analyst with strong Looker & LookML expertise to support a major overhaul of their analytics environment. You will work across engineering and insights functions to improve reporting, rebuild Looker models, and introduce governance standards that enable self-serve analytics.

The organisation has recently moved responsibility for ~80 Looker models into the engineering team. Data quality is currently poor, and they need a contractor capable of operating at scale-not someone who has only worked on one or two models. This role will suit someone who has owned or re-architected large Looker ecosystems.

What You'll Be Doing

Partner with engineering, insights, finance and wider stakeholders to understand reporting needs.

Rebuild, optimise and standardise Looker models and dashboards.

Improve overall performance, remove ambiguity, and develop self-serve analytics.

Establish reporting governance: define what good looks like and drive consistency across teams.

Act as a collaborative, hands-on specialist embedded across both insights and engineering.

Required Skills

Expertise in Looker & LookML (large-scale environments essential)

Strong SQL

Proven experience improving data models and dashboard performance

Ability to work independently while collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

Python

Databricks

Soft Skills

Highly collaborative

Self-sufficient and proactive

Interview Process

Introductory virtual meeting with Engineering Manager

Technical session with the data team

Final interview with the Insights function

Desired Skills and Experience

Led overhaul of Looker ecosystem, improving ~80 models and dashboards.

Established reporting governance and defined standards for self-serve analytics.

Partnered with engineering, insights and finance to address data quality issues.

Delivered scalable LookML solutions, boosting performance and reducing ambiguity.

Built stakeholder-friendly dashboards and improved end-to-end reporting processes.

Worked collaboratively across teams while operating independently as the Looker specialist.
