Working with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into clear data and reporting requirements.
Designing and delivering MI, reporting and BI solutions using Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.
Developing effective datasets, dashboards, KPIs and reusable data products that provide meaningful business insight.
Supporting the migration and simplification of legacy reporting onto strategic data platforms.
Identifying opportunities to automate processes, improve reporting and remove unnecessary manual activity.
Managing delivery through development, testing, release and operational handover.
Ensuring strong data quality, governance, security and control throughout the reporting lifecycle.
Using AI-enabled tools responsibly to support analysis, documentation, testing and more efficient ways of working.
Providing technical guidance and peer review to colleagues, helping to strengthen standards and share knowledge across the team.
Contributing to improvements in BI, data engineering and reporting practices across the function.
What we’re looking for:
Experience delivering BI, MI, analytics or data solutions within a data-focused environment.
Strong SQL skills and practical experience with data and reporting technologies.
Experience with Power BI and exposure to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Python or PySpark.
Experience gathering requirements and translating business needs into effective technical solutions.

Experience working across multiple projects and balancing different priorities and dependencies.
A proactive approach to problem-solving, continuous improvement and automation.
An interest in how AI and emerging technologies can improve analytics, reporting and ways of working.
Experience of legacy MI or data environments such as Hadoop or SQL Server would also be beneficial, particularly where you’ve supported migration, simplification or decommissioning activity.
