Customer Reporting and Stakeholder Management

• Raise risks, delays or data issues early and involve the right people where support is needed.

Data Quality, Controls and Documentation

• Collect, clean, reconcile, validate and analyse data from farms, internal systems and external sources.

• Maintain clear documentation of dashboards, reports, data sources, assumptions, controls and recurring submission processes.
• Protect the integrity of master data and support consistent definitions, coding and linking across systems.
• Ensure data outputs are reproducible, appropriately controlled and not dependent on undocumented individual knowledge.

• Work with colleagues across the business, including the ABP Data Team, to improve reporting, data processes and automation.
• Support the ongoing development and automation of the Gamechanger App, contributing ideas, testing changes and helping shape how it works for the business.
• As the App becomes established, build the knowledge needed to support it day to day, carry out initial investigation of routine issues and work with the ABP Data Team or relevant specialist where technical changes are required.
• Demonstrable experience designing and building Power BI dashboards or equivalent business intelligence solutions.
• Good working knowledge of SQL, strong Excel skills and experience analysing data, including using SQL to help investigate data or App issues.

• Excellent planning and organisational skills, with a proven ability to manage competing priorities and strict deadlines.
• Strong stakeholder management and customer service skills, including confidence communicating with external partners.
• High attention to detail and a disciplined approach to checking, validating and documenting work.
