Key Information

Reporting and BI Developer – Power BI (internally - Report Building Specialist)

Grade: Pay Band 2

Contract: Permanent

Salary: £43,000 - £46,000 Based on experience and current salary

Overview of Role

As a Reporting & BI Developer, you will help maintain, develop and continuously improve a portfolio of business reporting, primarily using Power BI and related Microsoft technologies.

You will work with stakeholders across Finance, HR and the wider business to understand their reporting and information needs and translate these into accurate, accessible and maintainable reporting solutions.

A significant part of the role involves supporting and evolving existing reporting. This requires an understanding of the complete reporting lifecycle, including where data comes from, how it is extracted and transformed, how it is modelled and calculated, and how information is ultimately presented to users.

Where new reporting requirements arise, you may work end-to-end to identify appropriate data sources, establish extraction and transformation processes, develop data models and calculations, and build reports and dashboards that enable users to understand and act on the information.

The role will also respond to ad hoc analytical and information requests, including Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, which may require investigation of existing reporting, extraction of additional data and analysis or manipulation of information to provide accurate and defensible responses.

Key Accountabilities

• Maintain, support and continuously improve existing Power BI reports and reporting solutions, ensuring they remain accurate, relevant and aligned with changing business requirements.
• Develop a thorough understanding of reporting solutions across the end-to-end lifecycle, including source data, extraction and transformation processes, data models, calculations and reporting outputs.
• Work with stakeholders to understand business questions and reporting requirements, assess feasibility and data availability, and determine the most appropriate approach to delivery.
• Identify and evaluate appropriate data sources and develop and maintain the extraction, transformation, data modelling and DAX required to support new and evolving reporting requirements.
• Design, develop and maintain clear, accessible and effective Power BI reports and dashboards that enable users to understand and act on information.
• Investigate discrepancies, anomalies and data quality issues, tracing information through the reporting process to identify underlying causes and escalating issues appropriately.
• Respond to ad hoc analytical and information requests, including FOI requests, using existing reporting or sourcing, extracting and analysing additional data where required.
• Validate and document reporting solutions and analytical outputs, ensuring appropriate accuracy, maintainability and compliance with relevant legal, organisational, information governance, security and accessibility requirements.

Knowledge
