Why do we need you?

Blinkist has strived to be a data-driven company since the start. During our initial growth, BI-related responsibilities were spread across several teams.

As our Head of Business Intelligence you will:

  • Shape and build up our BI team from day one, including data engineering, analysis, and science 
  • Own the complete domain of BI by empowering all teams to make data-driven decisions and championing a data-driven culture 
  • Design, monitor and maintain the data architecture to ensure data sanity 
  • Lift up our data-driven decision making to the next level by providing the best insights 
  • Integrate machine learning concepts to enhance our product experience and boost marketing initiatives 


To do this, we believe you should have:

  • At least 3-5 years of experience in the field of Business Intelligence 
  • Built and/or managed a team of engineers and scientists 
  • Excellent knowledge in the architecture and usage of BI systems 
  • A passion for learning through hands-on work

We got rid of classical management hierarchies and, instead, distributed authority among all colleagues. We foster a unique company culture championing self-empowerment, personal development, direct communication and mutual support. Not only do we want you to grow into the role of Head of Business Intelligence, but we want this role to grow with you.
