Job Description
As a Power BI Developer, you are the driving force behind our data visualisation and front-end reporting environment. You translate complex business questions into clear, user-friendly dashboards and semantic models that support better decisions.

BI Development & Analytics Delivery
- Design, develop, and maintain dashboards, reports, and self-service Power BI solutions aligned with business requirements.
- Translate business questions into KPI definitions, metrics, and clear visual storytelling; validate outcomes with stakeholders.
- Build and optimise semantic models (star schema, dimensional modelling) for consistent, high-performance reporting.
- Ensure reliability and usability of BI solutions through model optimisation, refresh monitoring, incident follow-up, and continuous improvement.
- Write advanced DAX formulas and M queries in Power Query for complex calculations and data transformations.
Data Management (Modelling, Integration & Quality)
- Build and monitor data integration pipelines (ETL/ELT), ensuring secure and reliable data delivery from source to reporting layer.
- Implement data quality controls (validation rules, reconciliations, error handling) and contribute to master data consistency.
- Maintain accurate metadata and technical documentation (data lineage, definitions, refresh cycles) to keep data auditable and trustworthy.
Stakeholder Engagement
- Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to refine requirements and ensure successful adoption of BI products.
- Communicate data logic clearly — KPI definitions, lineage, and assumptions — so decision-makers can act with confidence.
- Apply data governance practices: naming conventions, documentation standards, access principles, and retention rules.
Technology & Continuous Improvement
- Stay up to date with BI and data management technologies and propose practical improvements to architecture, tooling, and ways of working.
- Contribute to proof-of-concepts and adoption of new BI capabilities, ensuring maintainability, security, and cost-awareness.
