[Hiring] Business Intelligence Manager @K.D. Pharma Bexbach

Role Description

You want to build a group's entire data and BI capability from the ground up – including the team, the platform, and the strategy – not inherit someone else's roadmap? Then take ownership of data strategy, platform, and team at an international niche world leader in Omega-3 technology.

Salary: €85,000 – 100,000 / year, depending on experience

Permanent | Immediate start | Remote within Europe (proximity to our Bexbach site is a plus)

Why join us?

• Build from zero: design the group's data capability, platform, and team – not maintain someone else's legacy
• Direct influence on how leaders across sites, countries, and functions see and trust performance data
• Close partnership with the ERP programme, so data is designed in from the start, not retrofitted
• Remote-first role across Europe, with occasional touchpoints at our Bexbach site

Tasks

• Data strategy and roadmap: set a practical, prioritised roadmap for data and BI, aligned to business priorities and the wider technology transformation, including the ERP programme
• Data capability: define the data and BI service the group needs — people, partners, and processes; decide what to deliver in-house, where to hire, and where to buy specialist support; build and lead the team
• Data platform: design a central data warehouse on the Microsoft data stack and lead its delivery, choosing an architecture that fits our scale and budget while keeping running costs visible and under control
• Data quality and master data: establish standards, ownership, and governance for key master data (customers, suppliers, products); work with business owners to measure and improve data quality at source
• ERP partnership: work alongside the ERP team so data migration, integration, and reporting are designed in from the start
• Reporting and insight: take ownership of existing Power BI reports, stabilise and rationalise them, and deliver a consistent set of group KPIs across finance, operations, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams
• Enablement: run Power BI as a governed self-service model — workspaces, security, licences, certified datasets, and deployment pipelines; build a community of report authors across sites and track adoption

Qualifications

• A track record of building BI capability, including designing and delivering a dimensional data warehouse
• Experience leading and developing a team
• Experience shaping a data or BI function, including in-house vs. partner sourcing decisions
• Strong technical grounding in the Microsoft data stack (SQL, Azure Data Factory or similar, Power BI, DAX, and Power Query), hands-on enough to set standards and judge the quality of others' work
• Practical experience of master data management, working with business owners to fix data quality at source
• The judgement to make considered platform decisions and explain them to non-technical leaders
• Confidence working with stakeholders across functions, sites, and countries

Requirements

• Must-have:
• Experience working with ERP data, ideally through an ERP implementation or migration
• Reporting on manufacturing and supply chain operations (production, inventory, yield)
• Experience rolling out self-service reporting and building data literacy across a business
• Data governance and cataloguing tools, such as Microsoft Purview
• Sound development practice, including version control, deployment pipelines, and code review
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric
• Regulated manufacturing experience, ideally pharmaceutical, including GxP data integrity
• Experience managing third-party suppliers or outsourced delivery
• Microsoft data certifications, such as PL-300 or DP-600

Benefits

• Remote-first within Europe, with flexibility to work from your time zone region
• The opportunity to build and shape a function from the ground up, with real authority over resourcing decisions
• Individual career and development opportunities in an internationally operating company
• Competitive compensation with Christmas and vacation bonuses
• Company pension scheme
• Free water and coffee
• Company products at employee prices
• Regular team events
