Job Description
Your tasks:
- Assess the current data services and architecture, define a coherent target-state, and lead the migration
- Own the data and analytics strategy across DACH and Nordics, including the target-state tooling decision (Matomo, Power BI, Redash) and the role of Boomi in our integration layer.
- Define and govern core product and business metrics; build production-grade KPI dashboards and self-service BI in Power BI with pipeline freshness and anomaly alerting
- Design and deliver end-to-end B2C analytics dashboards covering the full user journey across our consumer products (memorial portals, donation application, flower shop / e-commerce) across acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention, as the single trusted view for Product and Commercial stakeholders
- Instrument and govern event tracking across all products and B2C touchpoints (memorial portals, donation application, flower shop / e-commerce); currently Matomo: funnel events, custom dimensions, hashed IDs, IP anonymisation, with a unified user identity scheme that traces users end-to-end across domains, versioned tracking plans, and QA checks
- Own GDPR documentation and data governance (personal-data inventory, DPA register, audit trail, deletion process), and the quality/security standards across the platform
- Make build-vs-buy and vendor calls (Boomi, offshore analytics resourcing) and input to the CTO on team-growth sequencing as the roadmap demands.
Your skillset:
- Vast experience in data, with 4+ years at senior/staff/principal level in analytics or data engineering in a SaaS environment; degree in a numerate or computing discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Genuinely AI-native: you use Cursor, GitHub Copilot, LLM-assisted SQL, and AI-augmented analytics as standard tools in your day-to-day work, not as occasional aids.
- Proven track record building large-scale data infrastructure (warehouses, lakes, ELT/ETL) and shipping production-grade BI end-to-end.
- Hands-on with event-based analytics instrumentation (Matomo, Segment, Snowplow, Amplitude or equivalent), cross-domain user identity and session tracking, and e-commerce funnel analytics; proven ability to design a unified tracking plan across multiple B2C products and with metric definition and governance at scale.
- Expert SQL, working Python (or R); fluent with the modern data stack (dbt, Spark, or similar) and at least one BI platform (Power BI preferred).
- Comfortable owning GDPR documentation, data quality and anomaly monitoring, and A/B testing.
- Fluent English & German ; Nordic language a plus.
What we offer:
- Real autonomy to set the technical direction and choose the target-state tooling stack, with a clear path to Head of Data & Analytics as the function scales
- Hands-on work alongside Engineering and Product, with daily AI-assisted delivery as the default mode
- Direct line to the CTO and visibility with the wider executive team
- A Berlin office that keeps you close to Engineering, Product, and the rest of the business
- Meaningful work as the market leader in funeral technology, across Germany and Nordics
