This is not a "plug-and-play" analytics role. It's a chance to build foundations, influence how decisions are made, and work directly with the CEO to surface the real problems-not just report numbers. What You'll Be Responsible For 1. Make data usable, trusted, and visible * Take ownership of data quality, structure, and accessibility * Identify and fix the biggest issues: data cleanliness, definitions, consistency, and single points of failure * Create clear, reliable views of the business that people actually understand and use 2. Turn complexity into clarity * Translate complex, messy datasets into simple, digestible insights * Build dashboards and analyses that tell a story, highlight trade-offs, and make problems visible * Help non-technical stakeholders understand what matters, what's broken, and what to do next 3. Partner directly with the CEO * Work closely with the CEO to frame the right questions and reveal underlying operational and commercial issues * Support decision-making with evidence, not noise * Be confident challenging assumptions when the data says something uncomfortable 4. Be hands-on while shaping the future * Roll up your sleeves to write SQL, build pipelines, fix broken reporting, and create interim solutions * In parallel, define a clear vision for the future: tooling, architecture, data ownership, governance, and how analytics should support the business as we scale 5. Reduce risk and dependency * Help move us away from single-person dependency * Document data logic, definitions, and processes * Create a more resilient, shared approach to data across teams ## Related Videos - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Beyond SQL Generation: How to Teach Agents What Your Database Actually Means](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100127-beyond-sql-generation-how-to-teach-agents-what-your-database-actually-means) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Data Analyst Salary Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/275-data-analyst-salary-austria)
