Job description

Overview

Are you a seasoned Power BI expert with a passion for driving impactful visualisations? We're on the lookout for a dynamic Power BI Development Lead to own and elevate our dashboard reporting capabilities. You'll set the standards for quality, consistency, and governance, acting as the go-to subject matter expert. Leading our BI strategy, architecture, and team of talented developers and analysts, you'll ensure our dashboards deliver clear, actionable insights that meet business needs with precision and confidence.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you'll be doing

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Power BI visualisers and report builders, fostering best practices and standards.
• Define and enforce dashboard guardrails, standards, and best practices to ensure consistency and high quality across all reports.
• Oversee the Power BI Service environment, managing workspace access, data refresh schedules, and capacity planning.
• Review existing dashboards against guardrails, conducting gap analyses to maintain alignment with quality standards.
• Collaborate with governance and platform teams to improve dashboard release processes and monitor system performance.
• Define enterprise BI architecture, including data models and security frameworks, to support scalable and secure insights.
• Facilitate knowledge sharing within the visualisation community, promoting user-centric design and adoption of new Power BI features.
• Ensure dashboards are intuitive, actionable, and aligned with user needs, championing best practices in visualisation delivery.
• Due to the number of applications we expect to receive for this role, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the listed closing date to ensure we're able to effectively manage interest. Therefore, if you're interested in joining us at AXA, please don't hesitate to apply.

What you'll bring

• Previous experience in Power BI dashboard and report development, with strong DAX and data modelling skills.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence BI strategy across multiple departments.
• Track record of delivering complex dashboards to senior stakeholders within large organisations.
• Confident in stakeholder engagement, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Solid understanding of data governance, data definitions, quality standards, and data warehousing principles.
• Experience implementing standardised processes such as UAT, release management, and process improvements.
• Familiarity with modern data architectures, SQL transformations, and Agile methodologies.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Fabric architecture or Microsoft Fabric Certification DP 600. PL-300 would be advantageous.
• As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.
