Senior Data Analyst bridges business needs and tech teams, defining requirements for data products, analytics, and reporting in a regulated healthcare setting using SQL and BI tools.
Innovation starts from the heart. Our Enterprise Data, Analytics & AI Integration teams help Edwards make better, faster, and more connected decisions by turning business needs into trusted data, analytics, and AI-enabled solutions. If you are passionate about solving business problems through data, working across functions, and helping teams unlock measurable value, this is an opportunity to grow your career in a highly collaborative and impactful environment.
This role sits at the intersection of business analysis, data product management, analytics delivery, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll support assigned business domains by helping translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements and supporting the delivery of scalable data and analytics solutions.
This is a hands-on senior analyst role within the Data Product & Engagement team for someone who enjoys working closely with business and technology teams, thrives in ambiguity, and can independently drive clarity across requirements, data analysis, testing, and adoption. You’ll influence outcomes through strong analytical thinking, business partnership, and execution discipline. If you think like a Business Systems Analyst, understand data deeply, and operate with a product mindset, this role was built for you.
This role is based in our Prague office, with home office flexibility. It offers a truly global scope, with regular collaboration and daily interaction with our teams in the US, giving you the opportunity to partner with international stakeholders and contribute to high-impact initiatives across the organization.
