- Establish and improve Power BI development standards, governance frameworks, documentation and quality assurance practices to support consistent, reliable and sustainable reporting.
- Provide training, coaching and quality assurance to less experienced analysts.
- Proactively troubleshoot and problem solve any issues that arise.
- Represent our team in key meetings to influence decisions that impact our reporting capability.
- Identify and implement improvements that enable the team to operate more efficiently and/or effectively.

You will have strong support from management and the broader team, and will be given the space to work proactively, innovate and drive new initiatives.

What you’ll need:

We’re looking for someone who brings together advanced Power BI expertise, strong analytical and critical thinking skills,

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and influence senior stakeholders.
- Strong attention to detail, organisational skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
- Knowledge of business intelligence and analytics concepts including experience with common industry tools, as well as coding or query languages.
- Advanced Power BI development skills.

It is also beneficial (but not necessary) if you have:
