Senior Analytics Engineer

I'm hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to join a global SaaS business and lead a time-critical Power BI Omni migration.

This is a high-impact role where you'll take ownership of a migration that must be completed before the current BI contract expires - meaning strong delivery, prioritisation, and stakeholder management are essential.

A global research technology SaaS business, powering market research and survey platforms used by major organisations worldwide.

They process hundreds of millions of responses annually and operate across a large, distributed international team.

Data sits at the core of the business, and they're now modernising their BI stack to support future growth.

You'll sit within a small frontend analytics team and take the lead on migrating dashboards and reporting logic from Power BI to Omni (Looker-style semantic layer).

This is not a lift-and-shift exercise - they need someone who can:

• Challenge what should actually be migrated
• Consolidate and simplify reporting
• Ensure long-term scalability rather than recreate legacy issues

• Lead the end-to-end BI migration from Power BI to Omni
• Review and rationalise existing dashboards - identifying duplication and consolidation opportunities
• Work closely with stakeholders to define what truly needs to be rebuilt
• Build and optimise dashboards in Power BI (short-term) and Omni (long-term)
• Develop and maintain data models and pipelines
• Support the move toward dbt-driven data modelling and transformations
• Ensure reporting is scalable, maintainable, and aligned to business needs

• Strong SQL skills
• Experience building advanced dashboards (Power BI, Looker, or similar)
• Solid understanding of data modelling (dimensional / star schema)
• Hands-on experience working with large-scale BI environments
• Strong stakeholder skills - able to challenge, prioritise, and guide decisions
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment

• Experience with BI migrations (highly beneficial)
• Experience with dbt or modern data transformation frameworks
• Exposure to Looker / Omni / semantic layer tools
• Background in analytics engineering or hybrid BI/data roles

• High-impact project with clear ownership
• Opportunity to shape a modern BI stack
• Work in a highly data-driven SaaS environment
• Flexible, remote-first working
• Strong exposure to modern tooling and practices

• 8-month FTC (urgent start)
• Ideally available within 0-2 weeks (up to 1 month considered)
• Fully remote across UK, Sweden, Germany, or Spain
• Optional hybrid in London

• Initial interview with Head of Team
• Technical interview (focused on BI, SQL, and modelling)
