2. JOB PURPOSE

The Manager, Data Analysis is a hands-on role accountable for the dashboards, reports, and analytical models that Hikma's business functions rely on for decision-making. Working within the roadmap, standards, and platform architecture set by the Director, Data & Analytics, the role owns day-to-day delivery on the Enterprise Analytics platform, remaining directly involved at working level in data modelling, measure development, performance tuning, refresh schedules, and access controls. The role is expected to go beyond fulfilling requests: engaging business function leads proactively, shaping and agreeing requirements before build, investigating why results occur rather than only reporting what happened, and presenting recommendations stakeholders can act on. It sets the data modelling and reporting standards followed across the business, including by analysts embedded within business functions, and is the direct source of reporting for functions without a dedicated analyst. The role also leads a small team of analysts and BI specialists, reviewing their work, developing their technical capability, and acting as the primary point of contact between the business and the Data & Analytics team.

• Deep, hands-on mastery of Power BI — able to own enterprise semantic models end to end, including data modelling, advanced DAX, Power Query (M), and workspace/gateway administration, and to set the standard others build to

• Strong command of SQL for interrogating, validating, and reconciling data across relational databases and enterprise systems (ERP/CRM)
• Sound grounding in data warehousing and integration architecture (ETL/ELT, star schema, fact/dimension modelling), with the judgement to shape durable, reusable models rather than one-off solutions

• Mature stakeholder-management and business-engagement capability — able to hold credible discussions with function leads, structure and document business requirements, and present insights and recommendations that stand up to senior scrutiny
• Demonstrated people-leadership capability — setting technical direction, reviewing and raising the quality of others' work, and developing analysts over time
