Head of Business Intelligence (Decision BI)

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Decision BI (Core Operations)

• Own the end-to-end BI roadmap, ensuring data-driven insights directly influence C-suite strategic decisions (pricing, market entry, product development, and resource allocation).
• Design and maintain robust dashboards and KPIs that provide real-time visibility into business performance, operational efficiency, and financial health.
• Partner with Finance, Operations, and Sales to translate raw data into actionable narratives that drive profitability.

2. Competitive Cost Intelligence (NEW Unit Setup)

• Build from scratch a specialized intelligence sub-team dedicated to deep-dive competitor analysis.
• Lead the development of proprietary frameworks to estimate, benchmark, and track competitors' cost structures, including:
• Raw material sourcing and supply chain logistics.
• Manufacturing/production overheads and labor costs.
• R&D spend allocation and operational efficiencies.
• Establish a "War Room" discipline—delivering regular threat/opportunity assessments to leadership based on competitor cost movements and market shifts.
• Utilize advanced data collection methodologies (primary/secondary research, financial modeling, and data triangulation) to forecast competitor pricing strategies.

3. Team Leadership & Expansion

• Scale the team: Currently a lean structure; you will be responsible for hiring and mentoring a top-tier team (Data Analysts, Data Engineers, and Intelligence Specialists).
• Foster a culture of curiosity, rigorous hypothesis testing, and business acumen.
• Define the team's operating model, transitioning from reactive reporting to proactive "forward-looking" intelligence.

4. Data Infrastructure & Governance

• Oversee the optimization of our data warehouse and ETL pipelines to ensure high data quality and accessibility.
• Champion data literacy across the organization, providing training and self-service tools to non-technical stakeholders.

Key Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years in Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, or Strategy Consulting, with at least 4+ years in a leadership role. Experience in [insert relevant industry, e.g., Manufacturing, Tech, FMCG] is highly preferred.
• Cost Acumen: Proven experience in cost modeling, financial analysis, or supply chain analytics. You must be comfortable dissecting a P&L and reverse-engineering a competitor's unit economics.
• Technical Mastery: Expert proficiency in SQL, Python/R, and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or Looker). Familiarity with big data technologies (Spark, Hadoop) is a plus.
• Strategic Mindset: You don't just present data; you prescribe decisions. You can differentiate between "interesting" data and "mission-critical" intelligence.
