Job description

A leading Cybersecurity Science & Analytics function is seeking a Power BI Administrator & Subject Matter Expert to take ownership of a large-scale analytics platform. This role sits within a specialist Data Insight & Visualisation Team, responsible for administering, optimising, and governing the Power BI/Fabric environment while enabling advanced cyber analytics and monthly metrics reporting.

You'll work across platform administration, automation, governance, and developer support - evenly split - ensuring the environment is secure, scalable, and delivering reliable insights.

The wider team is a multi-disciplinary group of cybersecurity scientists, data engineers, and analytics professionals focused on building next-generation cyber defence capabilities using data, AI/ML, and advanced analytics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Power BI Administration - Full ownership of the Power BI/Fabric service, including optimisation, governance, and environment security.
  • CI/CD Automation - Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and fabric-cicd.
  • REST API Automation - Use Power BI/Fabric REST APIs for automation, monitoring, and governance.
  • Access & IAM Governance - Manage permissions, workspace access, and security groups.
  • Capacity & Performance - Monitor and optimise Fabric Capacity usage.
  • Audit & Troubleshooting - Use Activity Logs and Log Analytics for auditing and issue resolution.
  • POC Leadership - Lead POCs, define architectural patterns, and drive best-practice adoption.
  • Developer Support - Partner with engineers and analysts to deliver robust, scalable solutions.
  • Continuous Improvement - Stay current with new features, updates, and industry trends.
  • Team Mentorship - Support junior team members and uplift team capability.

The Three Non-Negotiables

Candidates must demonstrate:

  • Evidence of thought leadership - not just platform maintenance.
  • Technical understanding of Power BI, networking fundamentals, and IAM.
  • Hands-on experience implementing CI/CD for analytics environments.

Immediate Priorities (Your First 90 Days)

If you joined on Monday, you'd be expected to:

  • Own the service - establish clear governance and accountability.
  • Automate monitoring - build reliable, scalable observability.
  • Propose automated testing approaches - strengthen quality and deployment confidence.

Requirements

  • Candidates from diverse technical backgrounds are welcome, provided they bring proven Power BI expertise.
  • Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and passion for learning.
  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, STEM, or equivalent experience.
  • Candidates without a degree considered with strong experience or certifications.
  • Experience in software development, analytics engineering, or data engineering also valued.
  • Proficiency in Python, Java, C#, or similar languages.
  • Interest in Cybersecurity (preferred but not essential).
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
  • Aptitude for learning new tools, technologies, and analytical techniques.
