Sr Analyst, PPK Operations

Senior Analyst, PPK Operations

The Senior Analyst is a technical builder on the PPK Operations team. Where the Analyst supports defined analytical workstreams and the Operations Manager owns the simplification agenda end to end, this role sits between the two: it takes ownership of complete solutions from problem definition through build and adoption, working with limited supervision, and is expected to bring the technical depth that makes automation and AI-enabled delivery real.

The distinguishing expectation of this role is speed of build. We are looking for someone who uses AI tools and low-code platforms to deliver dashboards, automations and analyses in a fraction of the time traditional approaches require, and who can explain and defend the logic behind what they build.

Responsibilities

Automation and AI-enabled solution build (~40%)

• Designs and builds automated solutions that remove manual effort from recurring PPK processes, using Power Automate, SharePoint, Excel and scripting as appropriate
• Uses AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT as a core part of the build workflow to accelerate development, generate and debug code and formulas, structure unfamiliar data, and prototype solutions quickly
• Prototypes and deploys AI agents and assistants for defined PPK use cases; identifies where an agentic approach outperforms a conventional one
• Translates business requirements into working logic: data flows, conditional rules, error handling and validation, so solutions hold up in production and not only in demo
• Documents what is built so solutions can be maintained, handed over and reused across practices
• Maintains a healthy skepticism about AI output, validating results before they inform decisions or reach stakeholders

Operations project delivery (~30%)

• Owns discrete PPK Operations workstreams from scoping through delivery, with the Operations Manager as thought partner rather than reviewer of every step
• Contributes to the PPK Operations project backlog by identifying candidates, sizing effort and impact, and recommending sequencing
• Engages internal stakeholders directly to gather requirements, clarify scope, secure inputs and drive adoption of what is delivered
• Runs test and learn pilots, captures what worked and what did not, and folds those lessons into the next build
• Proactively flags gaps, dependencies and tradeoffs rather than waiting to be asked

Analytics and reporting (~20%)

• Builds and owns Power BI dashboards end to end, covering data modelling, DAX, Power Query and visual design, applying Bain visual standards
• Rebuilds and streamlines existing reporting so recurring outputs run with minimal manual intervention
• Performs quantitative analysis on PPK operational data and derives insights that stand on their own rather than only presenting the numbers
• Triangulates data across multiple systems and stakeholders, resolving inconsistencies and flagging data quality issues at source
• Produces insight-driven output in the right format for the audience, whether a dashboard, a deck, a model or a written recommendation

Teaming and apprenticeship (10%)

• Coaches junior analysts on technical craft, including tool selection, prompt design, dashboard structure and automation hygiene
• Reviews the technical quality of work produced by others on the team and raises the standard through direct, constructive feedback
• Shares reusable assets, templates and best practices across PPK so solutions built once are used many times
• Evangelizes the art of the possible to other teams and builds credibility for new ways of working through demonstrated results
• Contributes as a member of the broader PPK community through projects, training and experience sharing

About You

Technical skills: required

• Practical, daily working fluency with AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, used to build and ship real deliverables rather than to draft text; you can point to work that was materially faster or better because of how you used them
• Strong Power BI capability including data modelling, DAX and Power Query, with the ability to take a dashboard from raw data to a stakeholder-ready product without handoffs
• Working knowledge of programming, in any language, sufficient that logic building is second nature: you understand data structures, control flow, functions and debugging, and can read, adapt and reason about code even where you do not write production software
• Advanced Excel, including complex formulas, structured data handling and comfort with large or messy datasets
• Strong PowerPoint skills with the ability to structure a clear argument, not only format slides

Technical skills: preferred

• Experience across the Microsoft ecosystem, particularly Power Automate, SharePoint lists and libraries, and Power Apps
