• Define and standardise KPIs, business definitions, calculation logic, and reporting methodologies.
• Build and optimise data models, semantic layers, queries, and ETL/ELT workflows across multiple source systems.
• Strengthen data quality, governance, validation controls, documentation, lineage, and auditability.
• Enable self‑service analytics through intuitive solutions, trusted datasets, training, and stakeholder support.
• Simplify the reporting landscape by eliminating duplication, automating manual processes, and retiring low‑value outputs.
• Partner with Sales, Finance, FP&A, Accounting, IT, Data Engineering, and other functions to deliver integrated solutions.
• Influence priorities and decisions as a trusted BI partner to senior leadership.
• Provide technical guidance, share best practices, and raise BI capability across the broader organisation.
• Proactively identify new opportunities to apply advanced analytics, automation, and AI within Revenue Operations.

• Commercial insight, root‑cause analysis and structured problem‑solving
• Data governance, quality, controls and metric definition
• Influence without authority and clear executive communication
• High agency, adaptability and strong delivery focus
