You will design and develop robust data models that support BI requirements and enable efficient data analysis, utilising this data analysis to advise business stakeholders on patterns, trends and insights. You will also develop comprehensive documentation, including business glossary, data rules and update to continue alignment with evolving business needs.

Your Power BI skills will be well used as you create and maintain visually appealing and interactive dashboards, reports, and data visualisations, ensuring their accuracy, reliability and efficiency by optimising data model performance. These insightful analytics will enable data driven decision making across our business.
