Salary: £60,000 - 70,000 per year Requirements:
* We are looking for a Business Intelligence Strategist / Lead Data Analyst with advanced, hands-on SQL expertise. You should have proven experience in designing and implementing data warehouses and ETL pipelines. Your ability to work with non-technical stakeholders to define requirements and deliver actionable insights is essential. We value a pragmatic approach, prioritizing timely, effective solutions over perfectionism. Experience in mentoring or managing team members will be beneficial.
* Preferred qualifications include experience with SSRS, knowledge of embedded reporting solutions, familiarity with API-driven data integration, and proficiency with modern BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, and Metabase. An understanding of AI/ML applications in business intelligence is also a plus.
Responsibilities:
* As the Business Intelligence Strategist / Lead Data Analyst, I will engage with non-technical stakeholders to identify business challenges, define requirements, and create effective reporting solutions. I will lead the transition from reporting on production databases to a robust data warehouse as the single source of truth. I will design and build new ETL/data pipelines to replace outdated nightly rebuild processes.
* I will oversee the selection of a BI platform and manage the migration of reports, integrating them into internal systems and customer-facing portals. My focus will be on shifting the reporting culture from Excel-heavy, tabular outputs to streamlined dashboards and KPI-focused insights. I will develop a range of reports, from operational to advanced dashboards, including financial and forecasting models. Establishing data standards and governance to ensure consistency and reliability across all reports is key to my role. I will also explore AI/ML opportunities to enhance analytics capabilities and mentor a junior data analyst to support their development and contributions.
