The Data team at Shine

Our Data team is organised into three complementary pillars: Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Analytics.

The Analytics pillar is itself organised into three teams, supporting different parts of the organisation and working closely with Product and Business teams.

You will join the team led by Ludivine, our Data Analytics Manager, and work on a wide range of topics, including product usage and adoption, performance steering, and understanding our customers and their activities.

You will work directly with Product and Business teams across several European markets, turning their challenges into analyses, metrics and decision-making tools that enable better decisions.

Your role as a Senior Data Analyst

What's in it for you?

• Direct impact on decision-making: your work will directly influence how Product and Business teams make decisions around adoption, performance and growth across different markets, with strong visibility among senior leadership.

• True end-to-end ownership: you will own your topics from understanding and framing the initial need through analysis, solution development and presentation of the results.

• A cross-functional business scope: you will work on a variety of challenges across ERP, Payroll and Commerce, spanning several European markets.

• Direct stakeholder collaboration: you will work directly with Product and Business teams as well as local leaders to understand their challenges and build the right analytical solutions together.

• An environment to build and shape: you will contribute to structuring the KPIs, definitions, data models and decision-making tools required across the different business areas.

• A modern Analytics stack: you will work primarily with SQL, dbt and Omni, partnering with Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering teams on data platform and infrastructure topics.

• An international environment: you will collaborate with teams across several European countries.

• A hybrid work policy: enjoy a balanced mix of remote work and office collaboration.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Business Understanding & Problem Framing: work directly with stakeholders to understand their challenges, clarify their needs and translate them into relevant analytical questions.

• End-to-End Analytics Ownership: own Analytics projects from the initial need through to the presentation of results, including framing, identifying the required data and stakeholders, conducting the analysis, building the deliverable and presenting your conclusions.

• Analysis & Recommendations: explore and analyse data to identify trends, understand behaviours and usage patterns, investigate discrepancies or unexpected results, and turn analyses into actionable conclusions for Product and Business teams.

• KPI Definition & Governance: help define, document and maintain reliable, consistent and shared business KPIs and definitions.

• Dashboards & Decision-Making Tools: design and deliver actionable dashboards in Omni, enabling Product and Business teams to monitor their KPIs, understand their activities and steer performance.

• Data Modelling: build robust and scalable data models using SQL and dbt to support recurring and ad hoc analysis and reporting needs.

• Stakeholder Management: manage relationships directly with Product and Business teams, challenge requests when necessary, and communicate clearly about progress, findings, risks and blockers.

• Data Collaboration: work closely with other Analysts as well as Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering teams, share knowledge and contribute to building common Analytics practices.
