What you'll be doing Build and maintain accurate, well-structured Power BI dashboards for departments across the business, ensuring data is validated and fit for purpose before it reaches stakeholders. Partner with stakeholders across Digital, Retail, Merchandising and Finance to understand their KPIs and translate requirements into clear, actionable dashboard design. Work closely with senior members of the BI team to interpret data, validate findings, and contribute to data-driven decision-making across the business.
