Business Intelligence Engineering Manager

Do you get a kick out of building awesome data experiences?

Analytics is about connecting people to data. In Schibsted Analytics we want to do exactly that. Our vision is to “Enable all the people in Schibsted to leverage any data in Schibsted” and we will head towards that vision by removing frictions between data and people throughout the 45+ Brands that make up Schibsted.

Every day across all our brands, and in our central functions, our colleagues interact with the tools and systems that are at the core of our ability to do business. Large quantities of data related to finance, operations, HR, CRM, products and many other areas are generated every day. The Business Intelligence team builds highly accessible and interconnected datasets spanning our foundational business domains allowing the people that drive our business to make data informed decisions and strategies.

As the Business Intelligence Engineering Manager you will lead and develop an agile high performing centralized BI team, consisting of 6+ engineers and self service developers based in Stockholm. The team leverages modern cloud solutions towards making common data domains highly available across Schibsted. You will interact with both central and local business stakeholders, Insights teams, engineers and system owners in order to discover and prioritize data domains to be added to the Common Data Warehouse. The role is central to our data accessibility efforts and a key contributor to realizing the Schibsted Data Strategy.

The Role will report directly to the Director of Analytics and be part of the Schibsted Analytics leadership team. You will be expected to contribute both strategically and cross-functionally in that context, but also tactically in the team employing agile approaches while ensuring both team spirit and team efficiency. A strong collaborative 360 approach balancing complexity and pragmatism will be required.
