Retailer1 Financial Data Analyst

Help build a rock-solid analytical foundation for our retail financial operation

How do you make our customers happy?

By ensuring every euro flows exactly where it should, when it should. As the Retailer1 Financial Data Analyst, you’ll transform complex financial data into robust, automated solutions that safeguard the integrity of our retail operations. With millions of annual transactions across purchasing, vendor payments, and profitability flows, your analytical frameworks ensure 13.7 million customers and 47,000 seller partners can rest assured that we process their payments accurately. You’re the mastermind behind our financial reliability – building systems so solid that nobody even suspects the world of complexity beneath the surface.

The biggest challenge

Creating and implementing scalable analytics in an environment where traditional retail meets vast platform dynamics. How can you build clear and concise transactions dashboards? When can you automate checks, and when should you maintain human oversight? In this role, you’ll develop frameworks robust enough to catch anomalies before they cascade, flexible enough to adapt as business models evolve, and clear enough to keep stakeholders informed at a glance.

What you'll do as the Retailer1 Financial Data Analyst

First, some context: Retailer1 refers to our own retail operation, which is by far the largest of the 47,000+ sellers on our platform ecosystem. You’ll join the Retailer1 product and tech team as the analytical conscience of our financial operations, working closely with the Financial Process Analyst and stakeholders across Retail Operations, Finance, and Product. Your mission: build and maintain a data infrastructure that keeps our financial engine humming 24/7/365. Success calls for a deep understanding of bol’s financial flows – from purchasing to payments and profitability. You’ll identify where analytics can strengthen our performance and reliability, design monitoring systems that flag issues before they become problems, create reconciliation frameworks that scale with growth, and build dashboards that provide actionable clarity.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and implement scalable, automated analytics solutions that bolster financial reliability
• Develop comprehensive dashboards to monitor purchasing, payments, vendor allowances, and profitability
• Create frameworks that support reconciliation, compliance, and operational accuracy
• Lead end-to-end data initiatives that improve financial process stability
• Advise stakeholders on data-driven improvements to financial flows
• Build and maintain critical financial data pipelines and monitoring systems
• Champion data-driven reliability practices across Retailer1 teams

• Collaboration champion: You thrive on co-creating solutions with Finance, Retail, and Tech teams
