Senior Business Intelligence Analyst (all genders)

THE ROLE & THE TEAM 

As a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst in our Supply Analytics team within Lounge by Zalando, you will collaborate closely with the Supply team and leadership to drive our vision of acquiring unmatched value-for-money deals that enhance Lounge user acquisition, conversion, and retention. 

As a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst, you'll design, build, and optimize data models in relation to planning within ANAPLAN planning tool and our Data Warehouse to support financial planning and analysis, enabling smarter decision-making across the organization. You will lead initiatives to develop and maintain scalable models, ensuring they capture stakeholder requirements for effective Lounge planning and steering.

Your role involves partnering with cross-functional stakeholders, particularly bridging the gap between business users and central data teams, to share requirements and to integrate their data products. Success in this role requires a strong analytical mindset, ability to independently drive alignments across organisations, data modeling competencies and the ability to communicate complex concepts to non-technical users effectively.
