Job description

Who We Need – Business Intelligence Consultants

We are looking for experienced Business Intelligence Developers to join our Data, Information and Analytics team as client-facing consultant for a 6 month contract. Good communication and collaboration skills are therefore a must, as well as great technical ability, statistical ability and a passion to convert data into thought provoking visual information. There will be exposure to a wide range of industries, so the ability to quickly understand new business environments is essential.

Who are we?

Decision Inc. is a global management and technology consulting organisation. We help companies become data driven businesses that are fit to take on the challenges of a digital world. Transforming their current operations and developing their new business platforms to scale innovation into the future. Our experience in leading technology and industry specialisations have enabled us to help companies to make better decisions, faster. We represent the leading technology brands and are experts in the implementation, support and execution of these technologies.

What Will You Do?

Key Responsibility: Develop clients reporting and analytics capability. The team currently relies on Excel and wants to make better use of its data to measure KPIs, track initiatives, identify issues proactively and provide meaningful business insights.

The consultant will work directly with stakeholders to understand their needs, assess the available data and translate requirements into practical solutions. This requires both advisory capability and hands-on development, with the ability to work independently across discovery, solution design, data preparation and reporting.

AWS forms part of the existing data environment. QuickSight is a potential reporting tool, although the final technology approach will depend on the requirements and assessment of the environment.

Advantageous: AWS, Amazon QuickSight and Qlik experience. AWS forms part of the data environment; the reporting tool is still to be confirmed.

Key responsibilities

• Build reports and dashboards that support monitoring, proactive analysis and business decision-making.
• Validate reporting outputs with stakeholders and refine the solution based on feedback.
• Take ownership of delivery, communicating progress, dependencies and issues clearly.
