Job description

At Anaplan, we are looking for a Senior Business Intelligence Developer/Analyst to act as a data domain holder for our engineering reporting and insights within the GPTO (Product and Technology) department.

Sitting within our Engineering Enablement team, you won't just be fulfilling requests-you will own high-visibility data domains end-to-end. As our engineering and AI capabilities grow, the demand for clear, actionable intelligence has skyrocketed. We have around 190 KPIs across delivery, quality, investment, and AI adoption that need a true owner. This role is key in enabling and measuring the success of Anaplan's internal AI initiatives.

We need someone who can take a vague question from leadership, figure out the underlying business problem, model the data, build the semantic layer, and deliver self-serve insights that actually make sense.

Your Impact

  • Act as a "data domain holder" for 2-3 subject areas (e.g., executive scorecards, dependency health, investment mix, or DORA performance) from raw data to final stakeholder presentation.

  • Design, build, and document semantic layers that outlast you, abstracting complex data from tools like Jira and GitHub into simple, self-serve reporting.

  • Partner with senior engineering leaders to translate ambiguous business questions into specific, defensible data answers.

  • Consult and push back on requirements, identifying the most useful metrics and deciding what should and shouldn't be measured.

  • Combine traditional metrics and AI telemetry to create meaningful measures of Anaplan's internal AI initiatives

  • Build and own the dashboards tracking delivery, quality, dependency, investment, and AI adoption metrics.

  • Advise the team on the evolving AI/BI tooling landscape (Rovo, Atlassian Intelligence, embedded AI), helping decide when to build versus when to consume.

  • Coach and mentor junior analysts, championing data best practices so outputs remain clean and consistent as tool access broadens.

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of experience building production BI in a fast-paced software or tech environment.

  • Deep SQL expertise and demonstrated comfort with dimensional modelling against warehouses with hundreds of tables.

  • Hands-on experience with enterprise BI tools such as Tableau, PowerBI, or eazyBI.

  • Strong working knowledge of engineering intelligence, including DORA metrics, value-stream measurement, and CI/CD pipeline data.

  • Excellent communication and consulting skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders, shape ambiguous requirements, and explain data limitations to executives.

  • High autonomy and the ability to own a domain end-to-end without needing a large support team.

Desirable

  • Familiarity with the Atlassian data model (Jira, Confluence, Jira Align, JSM Assets).

  • Background in a software development agency, SaaS environment, or a setting requiring you to manage multiple stakeholders and shifting priorities.

  • Proficiency in Python for more complex data transformations.
