The Role
Are you a Power BI expert with a passion for turning complex data into powerful business insight?

Model and Master DAX: Build and optimise semantic data models, applying advanced DAX functions to craft efficient and insightful calculations.
Champion Visual Excellence: Set and uphold Power BI best practices, ensuring every report delivers clarity, consistency, and great user experience.
Partner for Impact: Work closely with Finance Operations and technical data teams to translate insights into actionable business recommendations.

Power BI Expertise: Proven mastery across Power BI — from Power Query (M language) to advanced report optimisation.
DAX Wizardry: Exceptional skill in writing, debugging, and optimising complex DAX measures and time-intelligence calculations.
SQL Knowledge: Solid understanding of T-SQL for data extraction and query optimisation.
Experience at Scale: At least 2 years’ experience managing a broad BI reporting portfolio within a large or complex organisation.
Outstanding Communicator: Skilled at translating analytical detail into stories that inspire action among technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Desirable
Experience designing and optimising ETL/ELT pipelines using Databricks notebooks, workflows, or jobs.
Why join us?
