Operational BI Lead - Reporting & Rollout

Location: Remote - Europe (European time zones) Contract: B2B Work model: Primarily remote, with occasional business travel (up to once per quarter, fully covered by the client) Industry: Global FMCG

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and delivery-oriented Operational BI Lead to join an international business transformation programme for a leading global FMCG organisation.

The role focuses on the rollout of an existing Business Intelligence reporting solution across international markets, ensuring that local business requirements are understood, reporting solutions are successfully implemented, and users are supported throughout the deployment.

The reporting environment is built around Data Lake and Power BI technologies, providing business stakeholders with insights into operational and financial performance across different markets.

This is primarily a business-facing delivery and implementation role, rather than a hands-on technical development or system configuration position.

We are looking for someone who combines a solid understanding of BI and reporting processes with strong project coordination skills, ownership, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate the rollout of an existing Operational BI reporting solution across assigned markets.
• Work closely with local business stakeholders to gather, analyse, and clarify reporting requirements.
• Collaborate with global template and technical teams to align local market needs with the existing reporting framework.
• Coordinate the implementation and adaptation of standard Power BI reports for individual markets.
• Support the delivery of additional reporting requirements, including requirements gathering, design coordination, testing, and implementation.
• Plan and coordinate System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring effective issue tracking and resolution.
• Manage reporting-related cutover activities, go-live readiness, and post-implementation hypercare support.
• Monitor project progress, dependencies, risks, and deliverables, ensuring timely execution.
• Act as a key point of contact between business stakeholders, reporting teams, and technical delivery teams.

Requirements

• Experience in Business Intelligence, reporting implementation, or data-driven transformation projects.
• Practical understanding of Power BI and Data Lake environments, including how data is sourced, structured, and used for business reporting.
• Experience coordinating IT implementations, system rollouts, or reporting deployments.
• Ability to gather and translate business reporting requirements into clear deliverables for technical teams.
• Experience working with business stakeholders and cross-functional project teams.
• Familiarity with SIT, UAT, go-live preparation, and post-deployment support.
• Strong project management and coordination skills, with a focus on ownership, accountability, and delivering results.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
• Fluent English and availability to work within European time zones.

Nice to Have

• Experience delivering reporting solutions in large, international organisations.
• Previous involvement in global template rollouts or multi-country deployments.
• Understanding of financial, commercial, or operational performance reporting.
• Familiarity with SAP as a source of business and financial data.
• Experience in the FMCG or consumer goods industry.

What We Offer

• B2B cooperation within a large-scale international transformation programme.
• Opportunity to work with one of the world's leading FMCG organisations.
• Primarily remote working model with flexibility across European locations.
• Occasional international business travel, no more than once per quarter, with all travel expenses covered by the client.
• Collaboration with international business, data, and technology teams.
• A role with real ownership, business exposure, and direct impact on successful market deployments.
