## Description

Ever wondered what happens when raw data meets real curiosity? That's where you come in., Working across multiple sites and partnering closely with our Data Insights Manager and operational leaders, you'll be the go-to person for accurate, timely reporting that people actually trust and use. You'll help keep an eye on the metrics that matter, spot trends before they become problems, and play a key role in building a genuinely data-driven culture - one where decisions are backed by evidence, not guesswork.

What you'll be doing.

 * Keep dashboards, reports, and analysis accurate, on time, and genuinely useful for the people relying on them
 * Dig into the data to uncover insights that help the business run better - not just report what happened, but why
 * Pull, clean, and validate data from across multiple systems, so everyone's working from numbers they can trust
 * Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and scorecards that make performance easy to see at a glance

 * Spot the trends, risks, and opportunities hiding in the data before they become headlines
 * Get stuck into root cause investigations when something needs solving

 * Lend your analytical brain to strategic projects and continuous improvement work
 * Look for smarter, faster ways to automate reporting, less manual grind, more time for real analysis
 * Be a genuine champion for data quality and decisions backed by evidence, not gut feel
