We build the digital products behind some of the world’s most celebrated hospitality and lifestyle estates - Babylonstoren, The Newt in Somerset, Vignamaggio, and others.\nOur office sits on the Babylonstoren estate itself, surrounded by gardens, mountains, and farm-to- table food. We design, build and maintain eCommerce platforms, mobile apps, admissions and membership systems, booking engines, and brochure websites. Our team is small but high-impact, working across a portfolio of luxury brands that people genuinely love.\nRole purpose\nYou will make sure every estate leader understands their business deeply, sees problems and opportunities early, and acts with confidence.\nYou do that by turning business questions into reports and analysis people trust and use, quickly and to a high standard, and by helping build the foundation the pod’s reporting stands on. This is a senior, hands-on role: most of your time goes into building, checking and delivering. The Insights & Predictive Analytics pod owns everything from the semantic model to the person using the data: reporting, metric definitions, self-service analytics and forecasting. Working with the Head of Data & CRM, you help shape the models, standards and ways of working of that layer, own delivery end to end for the estates and business areas you look after, and lead forecasting for them.\nThis role suits an experienced analyst who enjoys delivering, learns a business fast, takes on demanding reporting work and wants to help set how a growing pod builds.\nKey responsibilities\nBusiness understanding\nBecome the go-to analyst for the business areas you look after: what they sell, what drives their performance and how decisions are made.\nWork with business owners to understand what they need to see, and challenge a request when a better measure exists.\nPropose the metrics, leading and lagging indicators and owners for your areas, and agree them through the pod’s metric governance.\nBe the pod’s technical voice on your projects: explain what is possible, what it will cost and what the trade-offs are, and break large requests into plans with the Product Owner.\nReporting delivery\nTake requests from question to trusted report: requirements, build, checks, release and handover.\nTake on complex, high-value reporting work, turning an unclear question into a report the business relies on.\nBuild reports, measures and model extensions on the pod’s shared, certified models.\nWrite and interpret SQL across our data sources to answer questions and test what you build.\nKeep several pieces of work moving at once, deliver at a steady pace and set realistic expectations when priorities compete.\nSemantic models and standards\nDesign and own one or more of the pod’s shared, certified semantic models, built for other analysts to reuse across estates.\nHelp write and keep up the pod’s standards for modelling, naming, measures and report design, and set the example in your own work.\nHelp set up and run how reporting moves to production: version control, testing, and review and approval before release.\nAgree with Data Engineering where data and business rules live for the models you own.\nMetric governance and data quality\nTake the metrics for your areas through to one certified definition, documented and used the sameway across estates.\nCheck your numbers against source and existing reports before release, and build checks that catch problems before stakeholders do.\nRaise data gaps and issues with Data Engineering, rather than working around them in a report.\nLook after the day-to-day health of the reporting estate, such as access, refresh schedules and workspace tidiness.\nMove older reports onto certified measures, and retire those that no longer earn their place. \nInsight, analysis and forecasting\nAnswer the question that was asked, and point out trends, early warnings and what to do about them.\nTurn repeated one-off analysis into reporting that people can use again.\nLead forecasting for your areas: choose the method, track accuracy against actuals over time, and\nexplain uncertainty honestly.\nSelf-service and enablement\nLead self-service for your areas: help estate teams find answers for themselves through self-\nservice and AI tools, and make sure those answers match the reports.\nTrain report users so they get real value from what you build.\nDocument your work so others can understand, use and maintain it.\nWorking in the pod\nReview modelling, code and reports across the pod, giving feedback that raises the standard.\nPair with the Data Analyst on builds, and help them grow.\nTake part in hiring and onboarding new analysts.\nSpot where AI-assisted workflows can make the pod faster, and build and share the ones that prove their worth.\nBring design ideas to the Head of Data & CRM with clear reasoning, and act on review feedback.\nWhat we’re looking for\nEssential\nA relevant tertiary degree, for example in Information Systems, Computer Science, Statistics,\nMathematics, Economics or Business Analytics.\nTypically 6+ years in BI or data analysis, with a strong record of delivering reports that people use and owning delivery for a business area end to end.\nHands-on Power BI or a comparable BI tool: data modelling, measures (DAX or similar), data preparation and publishing.\nExperience designing semantic models that other analysts reuse.\nStrong SQL, and the habit of checking your own numbers before anyone else sees them.\nExperience on a cloud data platform such as BigQuery.\nVersion control and CI/CD (automated testing and release) for BI or data work.\nEvidence that you turned a business question into a report or metric that changed a decision.\nFast, organised delivery across several requests at once, with close attention to detail.\nClear communication with non-technical people, and openness to review and feedback.\nPractical, critical use of AI tools in your own work.\nAdvantageous\nSetting standards that other people followed.\nExperience guiding, pairing with or reviewing the work of other analysts.\nForecasting or statistical analysis in Python or R.\nHospitality, retail, ecommerce, membership or financial reporting.\nData from hotel, point-of-sale or finance systems.\nSelf-service, semantic-layer or AI-enabled analytics tools.\nAfrikaans in addition to English.\nHow we will know it is working\nEstate teams get trusted answers quickly\nThe time from request to trusted report keeps falling for the areas you look after.\nMost of what you release needs no rework after release.\nOur own checks find data issues before stakeholders do.\nReporting is built on shared foundations\nNew reporting uses the shared, certified models and agreed metric definitions, not one-off builds.\nThe models you own are reused by other analysts and across estates.\nThe standards you help write are followed in review, and rework after release keeps falling.\nLeaders trust the numbers and know what’s coming\nA growing share of metrics in your areas has one certified definition, used the same way across\nestates.\nForecasts in your areas are used in planning, tracked against actuals and held within an agreed\nrange.\nInsight leads to action\nMore people use your reports regularly, and keep coming back.\nStakeholders can point to decisions they made differently because of your work.\nThe pod grows stronger\nYour technical depth grows year on year, and you take on more complex work.\nWhat you build and share is reused across estates and by others in the pod.\nThe analysts you review and pair with grow in confidence, and their work needs less rework.\nPerks & Benefits\nDaily catered lunch.\nFlexible working hours - core hours are 9am to 3pm.\nChoice of equipment (most of us use Apple).\nGenerous training and conference budget.\n30% discount at Babylonstoren - online shop, hotel, spa, and farm shops.\nFree admission to Babylonstoren for you and immediate family.\nAccess to Babylonstoren’s recreation centre, gym, swimming pool, and studios.\nQuarterly socials and team building.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8091,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible
