Our vision is to unlock the potential of data privacy to empower a thriving digital ecosystem. We work with companies to create a healthy balance between data‑driven business and privacy‑led marketing for every size of enterprise. Our customers build trust with their users through improved transparency and control to drastically improve marketing and monetization, while achieving full privacy compliance.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Director of Business Intelligence (BI) to lead our data‑driven decision‑making journey. This pivotal role focuses on BI leadership; driving the organisation from data to insights to action, and ensuring actions are effectively tracked and measured.

Your Tasks

• Define and own the BI vision, roadmap, and execution across the company.
• Build and scale a BI organisation that focuses on analytics as a driver of business growth, going beyond reporting.

• Partner with stakeholders to identify key business challenges and opportunities, translating them into measurable KPIs.

• Attract, mentor, and develop BI talent, building a high‑performing and business‑oriented analytics team.
