Data & Analytics Leader

Your Job

A Data & Analytics Leader is responsible for establishing and scaling a cohesive, enterprise-grade analytics capability that enables KES business units to make better, faster, and more consistent decisions. With "Data as the foundation" strategy, this role focuses on business analytics strategy, business intelligence architecture, analytics enablement, and AI readiness, ensuring that data is structured, governed, and understandable enough to support both human-driven analytics and AI‑assisted insights.

You must show a proven ability to manage complex requirements while understanding the appropriate risk profile of a project to determine the correct solution. Daily challenges will arise that require more soft‑skill expertise than technical expertise — meaning, you cannot rely on technical aptitude alone to be successful. You must realize and show the ability to understand the business direction, objectives, and parties involved to get to the best outcome.

A candidate who is a self‑starter and looks to be proactive will be a great fit for this opportunity.
