Job description

About G-nous & the opportunity

G-nous is a dynamic and innovative consulting company operating at the frontier of data, space governance, and strategy. Since 2014, G-nous has been a trusted partner of the European Space Agency (ESA), collaborating closely with teams dedicated to Industrial Policy, Geographical Return, and strategic decision analytics.

We are seeking a Senior BI Specialist - Fabric & Power Platform to join our team, working directly on strategic initiatives for ESA.

In this role, end-to-end Power BI development is the core anchor of your daily work: you will design scalable semantic models, write advanced DAX, and deliver executive dashboards that guide top-level space policies. What makes this role unique is your mastery of the complete modern data ecosystem: architecting lakehouse environments in Microsoft Fabric, orchestrating workflows and low-code apps with Power Automate & Power Apps, leveraging Python & SQL, and actively exploiting Microsoft Copilot & AI tools to accelerate development, automate analysis, and deliver AI-assisted insights to decision-makers.

What you will do

• Enterprise BI & UX/UI storytelling: design and maintain executive dashboards for ESA; engineer complex DAX measures, star schemas, and optimized semantic models, turn complex institutional datasets into intuitive visual narratives.
• AI-Driven analytics & Copilot adoption: leverage Microsoft Copilot across Power BI, Fabric, and Power Platform to accelerate development (DAX, code, narrative summaries); prototype GenAI capabilities (Azure OpenAI, natural language Q&A, AI visuals) to augment analytical decision-making.
• Modern data architecture / Fabric & Azure: build and manage Lakehouse layers, OneLake storage, and Data Factory pipelines, leveraging Direct Lake connectivity for near real-time analytics. Build scalable ELT/ETL flows with seamless Direct Lake connectivity to Power BI.
• Process automation & low-code apps: build operational Power Apps for user inputs and trigger automated workflows via Power Automate.
• Data engineering with Python & SQL: write robust SQL and Python (Pandas, PySpark, Fabric Notebooks) scripts for transformation, validation, and analytics.
• Strategic stakeholder engagement: guide ESA stakeholders from deep-dive technical sessions to high-level executive presentations, translating complex institutional policies into actionable analytics.

Who we’re looking for

• Education: Degree in a STEM discipline (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, or related field).
• Experience: 5+ years in Microsoft BI consulting
• Technical stack:
• Hands-on proficiency with Microsoft Fabric (Data Factory, Lakehouse, Direct Lake).
• Practical experience with Power BI, Power Apps and Power Automate.
• Solid data scripting skills in SQL and Python (PySpark/Pandas).
• Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot and GenAI tools for developer productivity.
• Languages & soft skills: fluent English (written/spoken) and solid stakeholder management capabilities. The work is primarily conducted in English, requiring full professional fluency to draft complex documents and lead international meetings. An advanced or native-lvel proficiency in Italian is also essential.

Nice to have:

• Microsoft Certifications: PL-300 (or DA-100) and/or DP-600.
• Experience with Azure OpenAI services.
• Prior consulting experience within aerospace or international public bodies (ESA, EC, UN).

Compensation

Indicative target compensation(base salary + MBO + benefits): € 40.000 - € 50.000

Long-term commitment

We are seeking an ambitious professional looking for long-term stability and career impact. At G-nous, your work directly supports ESA's strategic European space initiatives within an innovative, collaborative, and forward-thinking team.
