Business Intelligence Analyst

We're looking for a Business Intelligence Analyst who understands that data is about making better decisions faster ,][ not looking smart.

You'll be the person who makes our data useful, not just available. Your work will directly impact product features, customer success, and business strategy.

About UPFRONT

UPFRONT is a Dubai-based fintech startup helping small and medium businesses take control of their cash flow through smarter automation and AI-driven insights. We have clients across a variety of industries, such as retail, hospitality, marketing agencies, and professional services, across the UAE and MENA region.

We're post-pilot, pre-scale, which means you're joining at the perfect time to shape things. We're unorthodox in a boring industry, because fintech doesn't have to be faceless.

What you can expect:

• Work directly with our founders (CEO, CTO, and Co-founder) - no corporate bureaucracy
• Your dashboards will be in customer demos within weeks, not quarters
• Real ownership and impact from day one
• Hybrid flexibility: Dubai office or remote within UAE
• Shape our BI infrastructure as we scale

What you'll do:

• Build dashboards that answer real business questions (not vanity metrics)
• Turn messy financial data into clear patterns: cash flow trends, payment behavior, forecasting models
• Support our AI forecasting engine with data models that feed payment predictions and automation
• Work with transactional data at scale: invoices, payments, collections across multiple industries
• Present insights to founders, product teams, and customers in clear, accessible language
• Write, optimize, and troubleshoot SQL queries as needed
• Own our reporting infrastructure: automated reports, dashboards, stakeholder requests

What We're Looking For:

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of experience in BI, data analytics, or insights work
• Strong SQL skills and ability to work with complex queries
• Expertise with at least one major BI tool (Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau)
• Experience with financial data: fintech, B2B SaaS, or metrics like LTV, CAC, payment cycles
• Excellent communication skills (You can explain complex analysis clearly to non-technical audiences)

Bonus points for:

• Experience with cloud data platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure)
• Familiarity with accounting system integrations (Xero, QuickBooks, SAP)
• Background in forecasting or predictive modeling
• Startup experience

What We Offer

• Salary: 15,000 – 18,000 AED per month, depending on experience and skill level, with clear growth potential based on performance and results
• Tools & Resources: All necessary platforms and software provided (Looker Studio, SQL databases, cloud platforms, collaboration tools)
• Direct Mentorship: Work directly with our founders and technical leadership
• Professional Development: Ongoing learning opportunities as we build and scale our BI infrastructure
• Flexible Work: Hybrid setup with office space in Dubai or remote work within UAE
