We already have plenty of data and dashboards. Your job won’t just be to create more of them. An important part of the role will be helping us bring consistency to how we use BI across the company: improving existing dashboards, bringing scattered reporting together, and making sure the metrics we use are clear and consistent. As you gain more experience, there is plenty of room to take on more responsibility.

Nice to have None of these are hard requirements, but they will help you along the way: Basic SQL skills Experience with Google Data Studio / Looker Studio Experience with BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse Room to grow At first, your focus will be on getting to know our data, dashboards and business while contributing to BI development across UpCloud. As your understanding grows, so will your ownership. You can take a bigger role in developing our Data Studio environment, bringing dashboards and metrics together and shaping how BI is used across the company. From there, the role can develop in different directions over time. Location For this role, we prefer someone based in or around Helsinki who enjoys spending most of their week at our Helsinki office right in the heart of Helsinki city centre. You’ll work alongside colleagues from across the business, making it easy to learn, exchange ideas, and understand how different parts of UpCloud work. We believe there is real value in learning through everyday conversations and building relationships with people across the company. Why UpCloud? UpCloud is building the leading European cloud and challenging some of the largest companies in the industry. You’ll be working in an international technology company where data connects different parts of the business, from our customers and products to sales, marketing, and finance. You’ll have a real opportunity to influence how we use BI and analytics across the company rather than simply maintaining an established reporting setup. At UpCloud, you’ll be trusted with responsibility and given room to develop. We value people who ask questions, look for better ways of doing things and take ownership as they grow.
