Business Intelligence Analyst

About the job

As a Business Intelligence Analyst at Lean, you’ll play a crucial role in enabling data-driven decision-making across the company. Your work will uncover powerful insights that shape strategy, provide essential visibility to create alignment, and contribute to business growth. You will collaborate with teams across the organisation—including Engineering, Product, Commercial, and more—to understand their data needs, then translate those into KPI dashboards and analyses that empower them to make informed, impactful decisions based on real data.

This role goes beyond just analysing metrics—it’s about identifying what truly influences business success. You’ll take raw data and transform it into meaningful insights, enhancing data literacy across the organisation, and ensuring teams have the information they need to excel. You’ll refine data processes, build dashboards, and communicate findings in a way that resonates with stakeholders at all levels. Your ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights will be instrumental in helping Lean continue to evolve and innovate.
