To become a business intelligence analyst, you will often need an IT degree, such as a bachelor’s or master’s, to gain a solid grounding in development, databases and information systems.

A degree in statistics or applied mathematics is also highly valued for mastering data analysis and predictive models. Specialising in data at a business school can provide a strategic and business vision.

In addition, training in big data or data science is an asset for mastering advanced analytical tools and techniques. Recognised certifications, such as those in Power BI, Tableau or SQL, reinforce technical expertise. Finally, self-taught skills in BI tools, databases or languages such as Python can greatly enhance a profile.

The average daily rate (ADR) for a Business Intelligence Analyst varies according to their level of experience and the complexity of the assignments:

• Beginners (0-2 years): between €300 and €450. Young professionals often specialise in basic analysis and the use of common BI tools.
• Intermediate (2-5 years): between €450 and €650. They master more technologies, work on more complex projects and may interact with strategic teams.
• Senior (5+ years): between €650 and €1,000 or more. These professionals add significant value through their strategic vision, ability to manage BI projects, and consulting experience.

Rates may vary according to region, business sector and demand for specific skills (data science, complex project management, etc.).v
