Job Description
Please note: This is a 12 month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave.
The Role: This is an excellent opportunity to join a rapidly expanding Business Intelligence Systems team working with a great mix of experience both inside Next and across the industry. BIS is transforming from a traditional SQL team to a modern hybrid cloud platform bringing together the best data, analytical and reporting tools to deliver new and enhance existing products and support our users.
Business Intelligence works with Finance, Product, Warehouse, Marketing, the Brand teams and almost everyone to design and build the data solutions that NEXT relies on to measure, report and analyse the performance of the business and its operations.

This position is within the BIS Finance Workstream. Our primary responsibility is to complete projects to support our commercial finance department, focusing on technologies such as Azure, Databricks, Power BI and ADF.

In this role you will work in a product team developing solutions to help fulfil the business’ needs, which can include providing new data for them to access from a variety of sources or enhancing the way we work to deliver better results. BIS supports over 70 BI products today and we are continuously building more.
