The Opportunity

Are you a Data Analyst with strong Power BI skills who enjoys turning complex data into clear, actionable insights?

• Develop, maintain and enhance interactive Power BI dashboards and reports.
• Use Power Query to transform, cleanse and manipulate data from multiple sources.
• Maintain existing dashboards, troubleshoot issues and improve reporting functionality.
• Build new reports and dashboards based on business requirements.
• Support reporting automation, reducing manual processes and enabling users to access data independently.
• Analyse purchasing and operational KPIs, including cost, quality, delivery and supplier performance.
• Work with data from systems such as Oracle, Snowflake and SQL databases.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand reporting needs and present findings clearly.
• Identify opportunities to improve data quality, reporting efficiency and business processes.

What We're Looking For

• Strong Power BI experience, particularly dashboard development and reporting.
• Good knowledge of Power Query and data transformation.
• Experience building, maintaining and troubleshooting reports and dashboards.
• Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail.
• The ability to understand business requirements and turn them into practical reporting solutions.
• Good communication skills and confidence working with non-technical stakeholders.
