We are currently seeking a Business Systems & BI Analyst to join our regional Finance team. This is a rare opportunity to build a firm-wide reporting platform from the ground up and to see your work used every day by the people who run an international law firm.
The role can be based in our Prague or Bratislava office, whichever suits you best, with hybrid working in line with the local office policy. As a Business Systems & BI Analyst, you will build the Power BI platform that shows the firm how it is truly performing, and keep the systems behind it dependable.
The reporting you create will be in front of management and Finance when decisions are made. Collaboration and teamwork are highly valued within our firm. You will design and implement our Power BI platform rather than inherit someone else's, and you will decide how it is built.
