Key Areas of Focus & Responsibilities
Power BI Dashboard Development & Ownership
- Design, build, and take full ownership of Power BI dashboards that provide leadership teams with clear, accurate, and actionable visibility into e-commerce business performance across all critical commercial dimensions
- Go beyond standard reporting templates — creating Power BI solutions that surface the analytical narratives leadership actually needs, rather than simply displaying the metrics they already know about
- Maintain and continuously improve existing Power BI infrastructure — ensuring dashboards are reliable, refreshed, and structured around evolving business priorities rather than historical reporting conventions
- Build data models, DAX measures, and interactive visualization layers that enable self-service exploration by business stakeholders — reducing ad-hoc reporting requests while increasing analytical independence across the organization
SQL Analysis & Hands-On Data Investigation
- Apply hands-on SQL proficiency to extract, transform, and analyze data across the e-commerce platform’s transaction, customer, product, and marketing databases — getting to the underlying data truth rather than relying on pre-summarized reporting extracts
- Conduct deep-dive data investigations when reported metrics raise questions, appear inconsistent, or require explanation — applying SQL with the curiosity and rigor of someone who genuinely wants to understand what the data is saying
- Build and maintain robust data pipelines and transformation logic that ensure clean, reliable, and consistently defined metrics flow into Power BI and other analytical outputs
Funnel, Cohort & Customer Segmentation Analysis
- Design and execute funnel analysis that tracks customer journeys from acquisition through conversion and retention — identifying where the e-commerce business is losing potential customers and quantifying the revenue impact of each friction point
- Build cohort analyses that reveal how customer behavior, retention patterns, and lifetime value evolve over time — providing the longitudinal insight needed to evaluate the true commercial impact of product, marketing, and pricing changes
- Develop customer segmentation frameworks that enable the business to understand who its most valuable customers are, what distinguishes their behavior, and how different segments should be prioritized and served differently
- Translate funnel, cohort, and segmentation findings into clear commercial recommendations — connecting analytical outputs to specific growth initiatives, investment decisions, and operational changes that the business can implement
Marketing Attribution & Performance Measurement
- Design and implement marketing attribution models that accurately measure the contribution of different channels, campaigns, and touchpoints to e-commerce conversion — enabling evidence-based marketing investment decisions
- Challenge and refine existing attribution approaches where they may be overstating or understating channel performance — bringing methodological rigour to marketing measurement that reduces wasted spend and improves ROI
- Work directly with marketing teams to translate attribution findings into actionable channel optimization recommendations — connecting analytical outputs to concrete budget allocation and campaign strategy decisions
Performance Diagnostics, KPI Governance & Business Insights
- Lead performance diagnostics when the business needs to understand why metrics are moving in an unexpected direction — systematically investigating root causes and communicating findings with clarity and commercial relevance
- Own data quality, measurement framework governance, and KPI definition standards — ensuring that the entire organization is working from a shared, accurate, and consistently applied set of performance metrics
- Translate complex, multi-dimensional datasets into clear, actionable strategic recommendations for senior leadership — moving beyond data description to genuine business interpretation that drives better decisions and faster action
- Challenge conventional assumptions about business performance with evidence — bringing intellectual courage to stakeholder conversations where the data suggests a different picture than leadership intuition might indicate
What the Business Is Looking For
Technical Capability
- Power BI expertise — genuinely advanced dashboard development, data modeling, and DAX capability that goes beyond basic reporting templates
- Strong SQL proficiency — comfortable writing complex queries, CTEs, window functions, and analytical transformations across large e-commerce datasets
- Hands-on funnel analysis, cohort analysis, and customer segmentation experience — ideally in an e-commerce, digital retail, or subscription business context
- Marketing attribution measurement understanding — multi-touch, data-driven, or first/last-click attribution modeling experience applied to digital marketing channels
Commercial Judgement & Analytical Mindset
- Genuine commercial curiosity — naturally interested in what the numbers mean for the business, not just what the numbers are; someone who asks “so what?” before considering any analysis complete
- Comfort challenging conventional thinking — able to respectfully push back on assumptions, surface inconvenient data truths, and hold firm on analytical conclusions when the evidence is clear
- Ability to communicate complex findings in a way that drives action — simplifying analytical complexity into clear, confident recommendations that senior stakeholders can immediately act upon
- Trusted adviser mentality — approaching stakeholder relationships with the goal of becoming an indispensable strategic partner rather than a service provider who fulfils analytical requests
