• Expert knowledge in Microsoft Excel and Access, as well as in data warehousing technology specifically Power BI, Azure and Data Lake.
• Experience of developing reporting products that continue to serve customers' requirements beyond initial launch.
• Ability to perform under pressure and commitment to meet deadlines.
