Head of Business Intelligence

Join our client, a games studio delivering innovative online casino experiences, focused on high-definition, customer-centric excitement. As the Head of Business Intelligence, you will lead the analytics function across the business—from data ingestion and modelling through to analysis, reporting, predictive modelling, and AI-enabled analytics. You will manage a team of data analysts, analytics engineers, and data engineers, and partner closely with the executive team and managers across every function of the business to drive decisions at the highest level.

Your time will be split roughly evenly between three areas: team, stakeholder, and project management; data architecture; and hands-on high-value analytics work. Your stack includes Kafka, Spark on EMR, S3 data lake, Snowflake plus dbt for analytics engineering, Airflow for orchestration, and Tableau for reporting. This is an on-site role based in Malta; relocation is not offered. There is 1 vacancy.

• Drive the adoption of predictive and AI-enabled analytics across every team.
• Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical stakeholders up to and including the executive suite.

Requirements
