Senior Business Analyst - Data Platform
The opportunity
Talent Insights are working with one of Australia’s biggest retail media businesses to find a Senior Business Analyst for a 6 month initial contract. This is a new stream focused on getting their data platform ready for AI.
They’re on GCP, BigQuery and Looker, and the warehouse has grown a lot over the years without much of a clean up. They’ve started pointing conversational AI tools at it, and the semantic layer needs an uplift to make that work. You’ll be the one helping bridge the business and the data engineers to get it there.
