Business / Functional BI Analyst

Mandate Overview:

The client is looking for a business and functional analyst to support the group insurance data mart through its final delivery in 2027. The data mart integrates several legacy systems and the new group insurance system in an Azure environment, with Power BI reporting. The role sits at the interface between the business units and the BI development team. It involves translating reporting and dashboard needs into usable functional specifications, then validating deliverable compliance in UAT. The data dimension is explicit: modeling, understanding of ETL flows and validation of the sources used in reports. The mandate adds a broader solution analysis component (business cases, solution issues, collaboration with the business architect), which complements the BI core without replacing it.

Target candidate: a business or functional analyst who has already led BI or analytics projects end to end on the requirements side. In practice: workshops run with stakeholders, specifications written for Power BI or equivalent developers, and acceptance testing performed on delivered reports. Their understanding of data modeling and ETL allows them to validate where the data comes from and to work directly with technical teams.
