At Improbable, you are surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them, and who compel you to improve yourself. We’re motivated by the fulfilment of solving hard problems to achieve something profound and transformative.

As the Business Intelligence Lead, you will be working as part of the Strategy & Operations team as the hands-on technical lead, responsible for bringing data and insights across central business functions and operations globally.

This role is a senior individual contributor and the data and insights scope of this role spans company-wide, covering for business units such as People & Talent, Finance, Marketing and Business Development at Improbable.

The ultimate goal is to provide employees with access to analytics-ready data and insights for self-service analysis via user friendly dashboards, enabling them to answer key business questions and make more informed decisions.

As the Business Intelligence Lead, you will be a new role in a newly formed team, trusted to take responsibility for building out the data and analytics capabilities required to support company growth and continuous improvement. Together with people at all levels of the company, you will influence upstream, by understanding how data is created and consequently building intuitive reporting. You will also be expected to work downstream, to support business managers drive strategy and operations through the insights we create.

On a day to day basis you will be responsible for the following:

• Ensuring data quality and integrity at source
• Maintaining an analytics-ready data ecosystem
• Delivering insights and enabling self-service reporting
• Enabling other analysts and data-savvy business managers

• Ability to understand and translate business needs into data and insight specifications.
• Previous experience working with both engineering and corporate functions (i.e. FP&A, People Analytics etc…) and proven verbal and written communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Expertise in data visualisation, including dashboard development and design principles using Tableau or other reporting tools.
• Extensive experience developing datasets using SQL and some recent experience writing SQL in Google BigQuery or an equivalent cloud SQL warehouse. An interest in the games industry and our mission to create meaningful virtual worlds.
• Advanced knowledge in building and developing data warehouse solutions and connecting excel workbooks to database to model business information.
• Interests in data modelling and statistical analysis with Python or R.

While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply!!
