We are a long-established and growing organization currently undergoing a significant data transformation, transitioning from manual, Excel-based reporting to an automated, Power BI-driven environment. As a Senior BI Developer, you will play a key role in designing and building our new Power BI reporting suite, creating impactful dashboards and scalable data models that illuminate performance data across Finance, Commercial, Sales, HR, and Operations. This is a hands-on build role, perfect for someone who enjoys taking ownership of BI delivery and turning complex data into clear, actionable insights.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to shape a new Power BI ecosystem from the ground up, work closely with a collaborative and forward-thinking team invested in data maturity, and enjoy high visibility with strong sponsorship from Finance Transformation.

Advanced Power BI skills, including DAX, Power Query (M), and data modelling.
Strong SQL capability for data extraction, transformation, and validation.
Experience developing reports from curated enterprise data sources, such as Azure and SQL.
Confident communicator with the ability to collaborate across finance and operational teams.
Understanding of data architecture principles and BI governance.
3+ years of experience in Power BI development, BI, or data analysis.
Demonstrated success in transforming manual reporting processes into automated BI dashboards.
Experience working with finance or commercial data in manufacturing, distribution, or service-based industries.
Exposure to Azure Data Factory or Fabric environments is beneficial but not essential.
