Job Summary
In this role, you analyze and define critical KPIs, develop and implement analytical logic, support the finance team, and coordinate governance processes to ensure data quality and accuracy.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You are responsible for the technical definitions and the underlying logic of our business-critical KPIs - primarily ARR and revenue. This involves not only maintaining existing definitions but also assessing when a technical definition needs to be adjusted, managing changes through our governance and approval processes, implementing them technically, and standing behind the results - even when they are critically questioned during an audit or by external stakeholders. This also includes communication: you proactively and clearly explain definitions and changes - from operational teams to management.
- You develop, debug, and verify your own analytical logic. Your solid SQL skills enable you to compile the necessary data yourself, rather than waiting for others to provide it. You have a true end-to-end understanding of how data flows from source systems through the Data Warehouse to reporting. This allows you to distinguish whether the cause of a problem lies in the data, the process, or the definition. You recognize when an issue needs to be fixed at the source rather than just correcting it in the reporting. At the same time, you can independently prioritize a comprehensive, ongoing backlog and work on it autonomously from day one, without requiring close supervision. You are not responsible for our pipelines or the platform itself – this is handled by our Data Engineers, with whom you work closely.
- You design definitions, models, and reports in such a way that stakeholders can answer their follow-up questions themselves, rather than relying on BI for each individual question again. For Finance, this specifically means: you develop the data foundation, tools, and transparency that enable the team to fully take responsibility for topics that fall within Finance's expertise — for example, the monthly closing or ARR adjustments. BI is responsible for the definition and technical implementation; Finance is responsible for the process and the key figure. The goal is a process that Finance can carry out independently.
- Together with the Head of BI, you will establish and embed a governance framework for our business-critical KPIs. You will define what ownership means specifically on the business and BI sides, how definitions are documented, kept up-to-date, and audit-ready, and how changes are reviewed, decided upon, and communicated. The real challenge lies not in the documentation but in the acceptance and application within the company. You will receive both the mandate and the support of the leadership team to drive this change forward.
- You share workflows, logic, and working methods with the team. This ensures that the standards you establish are not only maintained by you but are also sustainably embedded throughout the entire team.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- SQL is a core component of this role and not just a nice-to-have. You are confident in reading, writing, and debugging complex logic within a multi-layered Data Warehouse. You think in terms of data models and overarching relationships rather than focusing solely on individual queries.
- You work in a structured manner, organize yourself very independently, and bring a high level of initiative. At the same time, you have the necessary self-confidence to question results and address them clearly if you believe a number is incorrect.
- You have very good English skills at C1 level. German language skills are a plus.
Experience
- You have several years of professional experience in Business Intelligence or Data Analytics. During this time, you have independently managed topics from start to finish, rather than just working according to predefined requirements.
- You have extensive experience with a modern BI tool. We are currently working with MS Power BI, so experience with Power BI is particularly valuable.
- You have experience with business or financial KPIs and are ready to engage deeply with their definitions and calculation logic. Knowledge of SaaS metrics such as ARR and NRR or revenue recognition is a big plus. If these topics are new to you, we expect genuine interest and a willingness to immerse yourself in learning.
- You have experience working closely with Finance or other Business Stakeholders. You can explain changes to methods and calculation logic to non-technical colleagues in an understandable way, and at the same time, you are able to discuss and defend your approach thoroughly when it is critically questioned.
