## Description

An insurance business is hiring a Senior Data & Reporting Analyst into its Data, MI & Automation team. It's a team of eight, and you'd report to the Head of Data, MI & Automation., * Own business-critical MI, including legacy Excel/VBA reporting, and keep it running reliably in the short term.

 * Then modernise it: move manual, spreadsheet-based reporting into governed Power BI, Power Query and Power Automate solutions.
 * Support a data platform programme bringing in new tooling (Databricks, Ataccama, Timbr), focused on data validation and mapping.
 * Build Power BI reports and data models (star schema, DAX), with proper documentation, lineage and reconciliations.
 * Work with a wide range of stakeholders, including some demanding ones. Challenge requirements where needed and explain technical points clearly.
 * Act as a senior voice in the team: coach and upskill colleagues. There is no line management for now, but there is scope for it later.
