Analyst, Business Insights & Execution

Contract Type: Permanent | Locations: McLean, VA, US; Betzdorf, LU

About the role

The incumbent works in a team that supports SES tuning business performance, market and competitive data into decisions for senior leadership. This role owns the data engineering behind that work: the pipelines, automation and tooling the team runs on. It is a specialist engineering role inside a strategy team. You will work close to the questions being asked, and your output regularly reaches the Chief Strategy Officer, the CEO’s office and the Board.

Responsibilities

• Own Business Insights and Execution’s automated data pipelines – ingestion, parsing, transformation and delivery of internal and external data.
• Work with data owners across the business to secure reliable access.
• Replace manual data work across the team with automation, including AI-based extraction of unstructured sources.
• Build and run the data layer behind OKR and strategy-execution tracking for Verticals and corporate programmes, including reconciling metric definitions into a comparable corporate view.
• Build and maintain the tools BIX delivers through – internal applications, dashboards and automated products. Document, train, iterate.
• Propose and build capability beyond the defined scope of the role. The remit is expected to grow well beyond the list above.

Competencies

• Sound judgement in working directly with senior stakeholders.
• Curiosity about why the numbers move, not only how the data moves.
• Initiative – a record of tools or improvements you identified, proposed and delivered yourself.
• Ownership of systems end to end: build, monitor, fix, document.
• Ability to work autonomously across multiple priorities in a global, hybrid team.

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, Economics or a related field.
• 2-5 years building and maintaining production data pipelines or data-intensive applications.
• Strong Python and SQL, API integration, and end-to-end workflow automation.
• Hands-on experience with AI and LLM-based extraction, parsing or agentic tooling.
• Version control, and CI/CD or scheduled execution (e.g. GitHub Actions).
• Power BI or Databricks, and Aerospace/Defence / Satcom / Telecom experience, are a plus.
