Job description
They are looking for a Power BI Reporting Developer to design, build, and optimise dashboards and datasets on a modern data platform - helping drive data-led decision making at scale.
This is not a traditional reporting role. You'll be working across end-to-end BI delivery, from data modelling through to stakeholder-facing insights.
? Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and enhance Power BI dashboards and datasets on a modern data platform
Develop robust semantic data models aligned to business definitions
Create and optimise DAX measures (including complex calculations and time intelligence)
Implement Row Level Security (RLS) and ensure strong workspace governance
Write high-quality SQL for data transformations and reporting layers
Reconcile reporting outputs to source data and validate accuracy
Optimise performance using:
Query folding
Incremental refresh
Efficient model design
DAX optimisation
Support UAT cycles, resolve defects, and deliver to tight deadlines
Run show & tell sessions, support users, and drive adoption of dashboards
Monitor usage and continuously improve reporting based on feedback
Collaborate with Data Engineering teams to resolve data issues at source
Requirements
Strong hands-on experience building Power BI dashboards and datasets
Advanced experience with DAX and data modelling (semantic models/star schema)
Experience working with modern BI/data platforms (Azure / Fabric preferred)
Solid SQL skills for data transformation and validation
Experience delivering end-to-end BI solutions (not just front-end reporting)
Proven experience working in governed environments (release processes, testing, documentation)
Experience supporting UAT and stakeholder delivery under pressure
?? What This Role Is NOT
This role is not suited to candidates whose experience is primarily:
Traditional SQL BI stack (SSRS / legacy reporting tools)
Reporting-only roles without ownership of data models
Limited exposure to modern cloud BI platforms
Basic Power BI usage without advanced DAX or optimisation
? Desirable
Experience with Microsoft Fabric or Azure data services
Power BI certification (e.g. PL-300)
Experience improving report adoption and time-to-insight
Strong documentation skills (data dictionaries, release notes, assumptions)
? Soft Skills
Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Ability to challenge and influence stakeholders using data
Highly analytical with strong attention to detail
Proactive and solutions-focused
Comfortable working in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments
