Now Hiring: Data & Analytics Manager to Drive Growth at Petbuddy Group

Location: Stockholm, Sweden or London, UK | Company: Petbuddy Group AB

Petbuddy Group, a rapidly expanding, M&A-driven leader in the premium pet food market, needs a highly motivated, commercially-minded Data & Analytics Manager. This isn't just a role; it's a unique opportunity for a hands-on professional to build our data and analytics function from the ground up, fundamentally shaping how we leverage data to drive business success.

Our data landscape is a true greenfield project—diverse entities, disparate systems, no centralized database. We critically need a self-starter to bring structure, insight, and efficiency. You'll be the architect of our data future, creating systems and processes to enable faster, smarter decisions and reveal what truly drives our business forward.

This position is ideal for an ambitious individual with 2-4 years of relevant experience who thrives on full ownership and making a tangible impact. If you love a challenge and want to see the direct results of your work, this is for you. You'll be the go-to person for all things data, collaborating across every department to transform our capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive Business Impact: Analyze complex datasets to identify actionable opportunities for operational improvement, cost reduction, and revenue growth.
• Own the Entire Data Lifecycle: Take charge of the full data pipeline, from raw data extraction to building a centralized data warehouse. This includes designing and building critical data models, such as product data models.
• Deliver Sharp Insights: Conduct ad-hoc analysis, develop financial and operational models for M&A, and design/build self-service dashboards in Power BI. Your insights will directly inform strategic decisions.
• Champion a Data-Driven Culture: Advocate for data literacy, training stakeholders on effective data use. Partner with commercial, finance, marketing, and senior management to provide data-led solutions.
• Define & Integrate Data Systems: Define future data structures, select technologies, and ensure data integrity. Be a key player in implementing new systems, ensuring seamless data flow. You'll also explore and implement automation and AI solutions to streamline processes and enhance analytical capabilities.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Commercially Astute: You think like a business owner, relentlessly connecting data back to commercial outcomes.
• Highly Driven & Autonomous: A self-starter who excels with a blank slate and minimal hand-holding. Proactive, resourceful, and eager to dive deep.
• Technically Proficient & Practical: Strong hands-on skills in SQL, Advanced Excel, and Power BI (or similar). Python/R a plus; practical application is key.
• Automation & AI Enthusiast: Experience or knowledge in leveraging AI and automation tools (e.g., n8n) to optimize workflows and generate smarter insights is a significant advantage.
• Exceptional Communicator: Translates complex data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
• Collaborative Partner: Skilled at building relationships and managing expectations across diverse teams.
• Located in or willing to relocate to Stockholm or London.

A Unique Opportunity to Accelerate Your Career:

This position offers a rare chance to build a critical business function from the ground up within a high-growth company. As Petbuddy Group continues its M&A-driven expansion, your direct contributions will be pivotal in shaping the future success and scalability of the entire organization. We're committed to your professional development in a dynamic, supportive, and ambitious environment where your work truly makes a difference.
