Data Analyst

You have the opportunity to join our team and tackle business challenges in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment characterized by close collaboration with business stakeholders.

As a Data Analyst, you will own analytical products — analytical datasets, metrics, adoption dashboards and product insights — that enable data-driven product decisions for a global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution. You will join its digital operations and intelligence organization and work in cross-functional product teams alongside Product Managers, Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers and Data Scientists.

The role is perfect for a team player with strong hands-on experience, self-drive and curiosity, who looks beyond the numbers to find meaningful patterns and business opportunities, focuses on outcomes rather than complexity and knows that simple, practical solutions often deliver the greatest value at scale. In this senior position you will take end-to-end ownership of analytical products, set standards for metrics and data quality, and share your knowledge with the team.

Your Role and Responsibilities:

• Analytical Products: Design and develop analytical products for product teams, business stakeholders and wider audiences, such as market trends and customer segmentation. Translate business intent into measurable definitions and business logic.
• Insight & Impact: Measure and communicate the impact of product decisions. Proactively explore data to identify trends, opportunities and risks, and generate and validate hypotheses together with Data Scientists to support product strategy.
• Data Modelling & Quality: Build analytical datasets and business logic with Analytics Engineers using SQL and dbt, and Python where appropriate, making sure products are reliable, maintainable, well documented and aligned with business definitions.
• Collaboration & Data Literacy: Explain data, metrics and methods to Product Managers, colleagues and users. Contribute to data literacy, metric standardization and data quality across the organization, for example by advising business units on what data to collect and where to improve its quality.

Your Skills and Experiences:

• Strong SQL skills, including data quality checks and data lineage with tools such as dbt.
• Solid, hands-on experience developing and owning analytical products: datasets, metrics and dashboards that people use to make decisions.
• Good understanding of descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing and interpreting experimental results.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication, with the ability to turn analytical findings into actionable recommendations and influence decisions through data storytelling.
• Dashboarding and data visualization skills, and good spreadsheet and analytical tooling capabilities.
• Experience with modern cloud data platforms (for example AWS, Databricks or similar).
• Basic Python for data exploration, cleaning, analysis and visualization; predictive analysis is a plus.
• Familiarity with software engineering practices for analytics code (version control, testing, CI/CD).
• Experience working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists and Designers, ideally in cross-functional agile product teams.
• Able to use AI-assisted tools effectively while applying sound analytical judgment to validate their outputs.
• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as Business Analytics, Statistics, Econometrics or Data Science.
• Knowledge of simple machine learning models is a plus.
• Experience in chemicals, ingredients, food, manufacturing, distribution, supply chain or other B2B industries is a plus.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written) is essential; German is a plus.

What you can expect from us:

• Remote-flexible environment;
• Highly attractive salary and benefits;
• Great work-life balance and flexibility;
• Find meaning and purpose in your day-to-day work; your expertise has a visible impact on the digitalization of a global industry leader;
