Business Intelligence Manager (m/f/d) | Remote (Germany or Switzerland) | Full-time

• Build from zero: design the group's data capability, platform, and team – not maintain someone else's legacy
• Direct influence on how leaders across sites, countries, and functions see and trust performance data
• Close partnership with the ERP programme, so data is designed in from the start, not retrofitted
• Remote-first role across Europe, with occasional touchpoints at our Bexbach site

About us – in brief

Headquartered in Bexbach, KD Pharma Group is a mid-sized, internationally active company and one of the world's few manufacturers of Omega-3 concentrates with a purity of up to 99.5% – built on a sole focus on Omega-3 fatty acid research and technology development. As the group brings together businesses that each joined with their own systems and ways of working, this role sits at the center of that standardisation effort.

## Tasks

• **Data strategy and roadmap:** set a practical, prioritised roadmap for data and BI, aligned to business priorities and the wider technology transformation, including the ERP programme
• **Data capability:** define the data and BI service the group needs — people, partners, and processes; decide what to deliver in-house, where to hire, and where to buy specialist support; build and lead the team
• **Data platform:** design a central data warehouse on the Microsoft data stack and lead its delivery, choosing an architecture that fits our scale and budget while keeping running costs visible and under control
• **Data quality and master data:** establish standards, ownership, and governance for key master data (customers, suppliers, products); work with business owners to measure and improve data quality at source
• **ERP partnership:** work alongside the ERP team so data migration, integration, and reporting are designed in from the start
• **Reporting and insight:** take ownership of existing Power BI reports, stabilise and rationalise them, and deliver a consistent set of group KPIs across finance, operations, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams
• **Enablement:** run Power BI as a governed self-service model — workspaces, security, licences, certified datasets, and deployment pipelines; build a community of report authors across sites and track adoption

• Experience leading and developing a team
• Experience shaping a data or BI function, including in-house vs. partner sourcing decisions
