Role Overview
The Business Operations & Data Specialist will be the bridge between the finance team and the data in the lakehouse, owning how finance data is defined, produced, and delivered. This is an operations role as much as a reporting one, requiring strong expertise in Power BI, SQL, and data modeling.
What You Will Do
The role involves building and maintaining Power BI dashboards, partnering with Data Engineers, preparing and quality-checking entity-level data extractions, defining and documenting finance KPI definitions, automating manual work, and improving finance processes and system configuration.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate is precise, curious, and not content to rebuild the same report every month. They should enjoy working with finance colleagues who ask hard questions and be willing to go upstream to fix issues rather than absorb them.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Economics, or a related field
- Genuine finance background and experience in external or internal audit, controlling, financial reporting, or FP&A
- Confident with general ledger and subledger structures, trial balances, accounts payable and accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, intercompany transactions, and the principles of IFRS
- Strong expertise in Power BI (data modeling, DAX, dashboard design, troubleshooting), complemented by advanced Excel skills
- Comfortable querying data with SQL and working in a lakehouse or data warehouse environment
- Able to explain data to finance colleagues and accounting logic to technical ones
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is a strong advantage
- A track record of simplifying or automating a process, not only reporting on it
- Experience supporting an external audit, or working in a multi-entity, multi-currency international group, is a strong advantage
- Fluent in English; additional European languages are a plus
- Experience in a start-up or scale-up environment is preferred
