Contract

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.


The company

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.


The role

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

What you'll be doing

  • 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

What you bring

Must‑haves

  • 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

Nice to have

  • 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

Why this role

  • 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

Important info

  • 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

Interview process

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