The role
As Business Analytics Product Lead, you will lead a small team and at the same time you will drive the shift to a product‑oriented analytics model, ensuring solutions are clearly owned, aligned to enterprise platforms, governed end‑to‑end, and linked to business outcomes. You will cover BI, advanced analytics, and decision intelligence, enabling fast AI pilots while maintaining GxP standards.
