What you'll be doing
We are evolving our BI capability through a strategic partnering approach, designed to integrate data expertise within our main divisions. As the BI Manager (Commercial), reporting to the Head of Business Intelligence, you will be the technical lead and dedicated strategic partner to our Commercial Sales and Programmatic Advertising teams.
This is a hands-on role where you will architect and build the technical solutions that provide insights and help to monetise the massive global audience engagement across our brand portfolio. You will balance deep technical execution with the leadership of a team of analysts, ensuring that the "Commercial Spoke" of our BI function is both technically excellent and commercially impactful.
Key Responsibilities
- Be a lead developer for the Commercial BI team. You will oversee the technical delivery of BI solutions, including writing complex SQL queries, managing data transformations in Dataform, and architecting data models in Looker.
- Collaborate with other teams within the Data & BI department, specifically Data Engineering and Analytics Engineering, to co-develop data products. You will influence upstream requirements and pipeline design to provide a unified, performant view of commercial performance.
- Be a primary technical advisor for the Commercial division. You will work with stakeholders to translate commercial questions into technical requirements.
- Develop and maintain high-value strategic data assets. You will integrate data from Order Management Systems (OMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems with digital advertising data (Programmatic, Direct Sales) to create a unified view of commercial performance.
Experience that will put you ahead of the curve
- You are an expert in SQL and have experience building production-grade data models within BigQuery, Dataform and Looker (or equivalent tools).
- Deep technical understanding of digital advertising data structures, including real-time bidding, private marketplaces (PMP), and first-party sales metrics. You understand how to turn audience engagement into commercial insight.
- Track record in a senior or lead BI role where you have remained hands-on with technical delivery while managing or mentoring others.
- The ability to translate complex business logic into efficient, scalable code. You value data observability and reliability as much as the final visualisation.
