👨🏽‍💻 THE ROLE

We are looking for a Junior Business Analyst (Early Career) to support the discovery, definition, and validation of business and data requirements across data and analytics projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

This role is ideal for candidates with 0–2 years of experience, including recent graduates or those finishing their degree, with full-time availability.



WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

👉 First 12 Months — with mentoring

  • Learn our ways of working and how we deliver data & analytics projects end-to-end, with guidance from senior team members

  • Gather and clarify requirements with clients and internal stakeholders, then translate them into execution-ready inputs for the delivery team (scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and validation approach)

  • Take ownership of business/data topics for a well-scoped domain or data source, becoming the go-to person for definitions, logic, and context

  • Provide data-driven insights and rigorous analysis to help stakeholders understand performance, trends, and opportunities, strengthening the reliability and impact of deliverables

  • Use SQL to explore data, validate assumptions, trace metrics back to source, and produce evidence to support requirements and delivery (joins, aggregations, filters, extracts)

  • Use Power BI to explore, analyze, and visualize data, supporting the validation of metrics, business logic, and project deliverables

  • Support PMs in creating and refining Kanban cards and ensuring backlog readiness for development

  • Take ownership of specific project tasks or well-scoped workstreams, coordinating inputs, following up on actions and dependencies, and helping ensure delivery stays on track

  • Progressively take on PM-like responsibilities within assigned workstreams, including task coordination, follow-up, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking, with mentoring from experienced PMs

  • Join meetings as needed to unblock requirements and validate business logic; capture decisions/actions and update acceptance criteria accordingly

  • Validate deliverables against requirements, acceptance criteria, and business expectations

  • Help define data quality guardrails (expected ranges/tolerances and “red flag” conditions)

REQUIREMENTS

  • Early-career profile: 0-2 year experience, recent graduate or final-year student (thesis stage) with full-time availability

  • Background in Engineering , Management, Finance, or similar

  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken

  • SQL skills: able to write queries for exploration/validation (joins, aggregations, filters) and communicate findings clearly

  • Client-facing mindset: able to engage stakeholders, ask the right questions, clarify requirements, and align expectations

  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills; detail-oriented and well-organized

  • Comfortable working with extensive documentation and translating it into clear delivery inputs

  • Team player, able to work in a fast-paced environment

💜 PERKS

  • Fully remote or hybrid work model (you decide!)

  • Salary Range: 17.000€ - 21.000€ gross/annually

  • Meal allowance: €10.46 per working day (via card)

  • 15th-month bonus salary policy

  • 4 extra vacation days

  • Company Shares Incentive Plan (RSUs)
