Director of Data (BI & Analytics) (m/f/d)

About the Job

As a key growth accelerator, A11 partners with Europe’s most ambitious startups and scaleups, corporates and SMBs to connect them with top-tier talent ready to make an impact. 

We’re looking for an experienced Director of Data (m/f/d) to lead and further develop the Data functions at our client, specifically the engine that turns raw operational signals into real-time intelligence for Sales, Operations, Procurement, and Finance.

This is not a back-office analytics role, it’s a front-line leadership role. You’ll own our client's data models, pipelines, and metrics - and develop AI-assisted systems that anticipate what happens next: which deal closes, which lane fails, which customer churns, which supplier delays, and how all our Agentic AI performs.

You’ll partner closely with Growth, Operations, and Product to turn data into a competitive advantage - running the daily rhythm of dashboards, forecasts, and decisions that move millions in GMV each week.

As part of our management leadership team, you will have a pathway to multi-region oversight, a highly competitive compensation package with performance-based incentives, and the opportunity to shape a high-performance organization from our Berlin headquarters, backed by top-tier investors.

Join the A11 Ecosystem – A next-generation supply chain platform, the company is redefining how one of the world’s largest industries sources, distributes, and finances materials. Engineered to unlock the full potential of global trade, it harnesses agentic AI and workflow automation to provide seamless, high-efficiency access to premium materials at scale. Since its commercial rollout, the platform has fueled exponential growth, optimizing procurement for thousands of businesses while setting new benchmarks for speed, transparency, and efficiency. Its competitive edge lies in full digitization and AI-driven supply chain management automation, eliminating inefficiencies and creating a direct, intelligent bridge between suppliers and buyers. With a team of 80+ FTEs across Europe (Berlin HQ), China, and India, the company is rapidly scaling toward profitability, driving triple-digit million GMV, and setting new industry standards in autonomous, AI-powered supply chain orchestration.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build the data backbone: Own the warehouse, models, and BI stack (SQL etc.) and ensure single-source-of-truth visibility for every team
• Operationalise insights: Work directly with Sales and Ops leadership to translate signal into action, quota pacing, margin tracking, reactivation triggers, fulfillment risks.
• Develop AI-assisted workflows: Collaborate with Tech to deploy GPT-based or agentic assistants for forecasting, pricing, and anomaly detection.
• Elevate reporting: Move the company from descriptive to predictive, automate recurring reports, and power daily management decisions.
• Own metrics: Define, implement, and track core KPIs across GMV, NRM, automation percentage and order quality.
• Coach a small team of analysts: Hire, mentor, and scale an output-driven data team that combines speed with accuracy
• Bridge teams: Integrate Data into the heartbeat of the business, Sales, Ops, Finance, Procurement, and Product all run off your dashboards.
• Guarantee data quality: Clean pipelines, consistent definitions, zero ambiguity.

What Success Looks Like

• 100% alignment on KPI definitions across departments
• Automated, self-updating dashboards for every business function
• Forecast accuracy >95%, margin reporting live by GMV, margin, and region
• One live AI-assisted data copilot embedded in Sales and Ops workflows within 3 months
• Significant reduction in manual reporting - ≥50% of recurring tasks automated
• Data stack clean, documented, and production-grade
• Weekly exec dashboards replacing static slide reports

Please note that this position is based onsite in Berlin. 

Benefits and Perks:

• Competitive compensation – attractive base salary and performance-based bonus program
• Personal growth & visibility – rapid learning opportunities, cross-functional exposure, and early leadership potential in a growing global team
• Vibrant company culture – modern Berlin office, monthly All-Hands, team events, and regular offsites
