Key areas of focus will include:

• Automating data extraction


• Developing and enhancing Power BI reporting and dashboards


• Supporting business improvement and transformation activity

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a track record of driving improvement through:

• Data transformation, modelling and visualisation


• Developing Power BI reports and dashboards


• Leading, developing and supporting colleagues in the use of data and information
