## Description

NATO runs its business analytics on Microsoft Power BI, and the NATO Business Applications Centre (NBAC) needs a seasoned Power BI specialist to keep that platform fast, reliable and secure, and to build the dashboards and the people who use them. This role is equal parts platform engineering, development and enablement.

You'll own the Power BI Report Server (on-premises) and Power BI Service (cloud): tuning and administering them, resolving the L2/L3 tickets, running the patching and upgrades, and delivering a set of new interactive dashboards. You'll also mentor NATO's power users so they can build their own.

What you'll do

 - Configure, tune and optimise Power BI Server for performance and reliability

 - Deliver L2/L3 platform support, monitoring, backups, logs, performance tuning

 - Run incident, problem and change management to ITIL and NATO service protocols

 - Perform planned on-premises patching and upgrades under release authorisation

 - Design and deliver interactive Power BI dashboards, including migrating one from another platform

 - Contribute to BI architecture, data-modelling standards and Standard Operating Procedures
