Certain Advantage are recruiting on behalf of our globally renowned energies client for a Senior Tech/Data products Business Analyst to work on an important programme delivering a business wide performance dashboard that utilises data from multiple platforms to provide actionable insight for optimising operations.
This is a key role bridging business needs with technical implementation, ensuring that the dashboard delivers actionable insights for optimizing vessel operations across the shipping fleets. Any industry experience is considered but preference for similar projects experience within either maritime, logistics, or energy sectors (if so make sure this is in your CV!).

Skills/Experience

You’ll be required to hit the ground running in understanding the requirements, quickly learn a number of platform data models, and build queries to prove the business requirements before engineering starts building the data products.

Suitable candidates will offer experience in handling big data warehouse projects in an enterprise environment where stakeholders are across multiple countries/timezones.

You’ll have a strong understanding of data modeling and system integration across platforms (even better if this relates to RADAR, GMAS, and BOSS)

Strong proficiency in SQL or similar query languages for building data product designs (to hand to engineers).

Typical responsibilities;

Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with stakeholders to collect and document detailed business requirements for performance metrics.
Comparative Analysis: Analyze and benchmark requirements against the existing business implementation to identify gaps and opportunities for enhancement.
Data Mapping: Map and align data models across multiple systems including RADAR, GMAS, and BOSS to ensure data consistency and integrity.
Data Product Development: Design and build cross-system queries to generate data products that meet business needs.
Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a liaison between business users, data engineers, and developers to ensure alignment and clarity throughout the project lifecycle.
Quality Assurance: Validate data outputs and ensure that the dashboard meets performance, accuracy, and usability standards.
