You’ll work with a high degree of autonomy, execute critical client‑driven requests under tight timelines, and build reporting assets that influence how clients and internal teams understand Open Finance performance.
This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role ideal for someone who thrives in fast‑paced environments, enjoys solving complex analytical problems, and can translate data into compelling stories.

Communicate insights with clarity, crafting data‑driven narratives that influence decision‑making.
Business Intelligence & Reporting (50%)
Build, maintain, and own key dashboards (internal and client‑facing) that support Open Finance reporting.
Use Snowflake SQL and Tableau/python applications to create scalable, reliable BI assets.

Awareness of Agentic AI tools, especially in the domain of Data Analytics.
Experience defining KPIs, developing analytics standards, or building benchmarking frameworks (required).
Comfortable working evening hours to collaborate with global teams.
Preferred Qualifications
