Job Description

The Business Analytics team is responsible for global management reporting and forecasting at Allianz Direct, providing decision-makers across the organization with trusted data, meaningful insights and the information needed to steer the business.
We are looking for a (Senior) Data Analyst who combines strong analytical thinking with hands-on technical expertise and a passion for turning data into business value. You enjoy working at the intersection of business and technology, building scalable data foundations while helping stakeholders answer critical business questions.
In this role, you will design and maintain the governed data models that power our reporting, dashboards and forecasting processes. Working with SQL, Python, dbt, Databricks, Power BI and AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, you will help shape and evolve our modern analytics ecosystem.
A key part of your role will be partnering with our Italian business teams. As we integrate Italy into our central reporting landscape and enterprise data model, you will act as the primary point of contact, translating business requirements into scalable data products, aligning KPI definitions and ensuring a smooth transition to our centralized analytics setup.
