Head of Business Intelligence | Global HealthTech and FinTech This is a bit of a departure from the usual corporate fluff. If you're looking for a Head of BI role where you can hide behind a dashboard and wait for instructions, this isn't it. I'm recruiting this on behalf of a client that sits right at the messy, profitable intersection of HealthTech and FinTech.

They need a Head of Business Intelligence who is less reporter and more architect. The Reality You aren't walking into a polished, finished product. You're walking into a blank canvas scenario. Your job is to take a high-volume payment system and a bunch of clinical data sets and turn them into a single, undeniable Source of Truth. You'll be inheriting a small teamdirect line management of two Analystsand you'll also be the one holding third-party consultancies to account. If they aren't delivering, you'll be the one to fix it. What You'll Actually Be Doing • Strategy and Leadership: Define and execute a robust global data roadmap that supports international expansion and product development., • Managing People and Partners: You'll mentor your two internal analysts and manage external vendors to ensure the roadmap actually stays on track., • Building the Stack: You'll drive the move to a scalable lakehouse (Snowflake/Redshift) and manage the integrations across multi-currency and various Practice Management Systems. You need to be decisive. You need to know the modern stack (Airflow, Fivetran, Python) well enough to know when someone is pulling the wool over your eyes, but you need to be senior enough to step away from the keyboard and lead the strategy. The Upside The business is already successful. The model is proven. They just need the engine roomthe datato catch up with the growth. You get the autonomy to build this function exactly how you think it should be built. No micromanagement, no we've always done it this way. Just a clear mandate to make their data world-class.
