The Analytics Enablement Manager is responsible for leading analytics engineers within Data Services while shaping and driving a cohesive, enterprise‑wide analytics strategy.

This leader brings a strong analytical problem‑solving mindset, broad exposure to modern analytics platforms, and a deep appreciation for technical best practices. While Sonepar operates primarily in a Microsoft Fabric / Power BI analytics ecosystem, this role also provides strategic guidance on analytical thinking and productivity across other platforms and in‑house applications, without directly managing or executing that work.

Define and drive an enterprise analytics enablement strategy that improves analytical quality, consistency, and trust across Operating Companies and Sonepar Management Group.

Establish clear expectations and best practices for analytical problem framing, metric definition, and solution design - independent of specific tools or platforms.

Act as a strategic advisor to business and analytics leaders on when and how different analytics approaches and productivity tools should be used, based on business need and maturity.

Partner closely with Data Governance to ensure analytics practices align to a unified governance model, including standards for metrics, documentation, reuse, and ownership.

Manage and develop analytics engineers within the centralized Data Services team, setting direction for how analytical solutions are designed, reviewed, and enabled across the organization.

Promote modern analytics engineering practices, including modular design, reuse, documentation, and performance‑aware modeling.

Ensure analytics engineers are focused on enablement and leverage, not long‑term ownership of bespoke reporting.

With the Data Product Manager, support alignment between central Data Services and distributed Operating Company / Sonepar Management Group analysts, reducing fragmentation and duplicated effort.

Support analyst communities by identifying common analytical patterns, shared needs, and opportunities for standardization or reuse.

Influence without direct authority - driving alignment through clarity, shared frameworks, and strong analytical reasoning.

Help shift the organization from reactive, ad‑hoc reporting toward prioritized, outcome‑driven analytics work.

Provide strategic guidance on analytical usage of Power BI and the broader Microsoft analytics ecosystem.

Bring informed perspective on modern analytics stacks from prior experience (e.g., SQL‑based modeling, semantic layers, cloud data platforms), without requiring deep specialization in any single tool.

Understand and advise on analytical use cases related to Sonepar’s in‑house productivity applications, while not directly managing or delivering those solutions.

Strong analytical problem‑solving orientation, with the ability to translate ambiguous business questions into clear, structured analytical approaches and articulate tradeoffs and assumptions.
