Job Details
The Role
Saffery is undergoing a significant digital transformation in how we deliver business intelligence. As part of this, we are strengthening our Finance reporting capability with an additional BI resource focused on accelerating the delivery of financial reporting and KPIs over the next 12 months. Working within the Finance Systems team and alongside the wider IT function, this role will help turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight for Finance leadership.
The Responsibilities
1. Finance-First development: Act as the dedicated Power BI developer for Finance, designing and delivering intuitive, visually strong dashboards and KPI reporting. Building reports and dashboards end-to-end in Power BI, from initial scoping and prototyping through to release and iteration.
2. Priority delivery: Implement finance-specific reporting requirements, ensuring rapid turnaround times.
3. Data integrity: Work with the Finance Systems team, who will support upstream data transformation and ETL, to ensure reporting accurately reflects financial logic and accounting treatments.
4. Stakeholder management: Work directly with Finance stakeholders to gather, challenge and refine reporting requirements, translating business needs into clear dashboard solutions.
5. Security & governance: Manage report publishing, refresh schedules, row-level security and related governance within Power BI.
6. Technical documentation: Create robust documentation for all finance-developed models to ensure seamless transition at the end of the 12-month contract.
You
7. Experience: Proven track record as a BI Developer, ideally within a Finance or Professional Services environment. You understand concepts like revenue recognition, utilization, and lock-up.
8. Data visualisation: Strong eye for the presentation of data, with the ability to create clear, polished and user-friendly dashboards for non-technical audiences.
9. Technical proficiency: Advanced Power BI capability, including Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, DAX, Power Query and report-level security. Experience with Elite 3E and/or Microsoft Fabric is highly desirable.
10. Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate with Finance stakeholders. You can explain "the why" behind the data, not just "the how."
11. Autonomy: A self-starter who thrives in changing environments. You are comfortable working collaboratively with Finance Systems and IT colleagues to maintain governance while delivering at pace.
12. Analytical mindset: Strong analytical skills with the ability to spot anomalies in financial data before they reach the dashboard stage.
13. Collaborative: While you report to Finance for priorities, you will maintain a professional and collaborative relationship with the central IT team to ensure data governance standards are met.
Reward and Benefits
14. A 35 hour working week with a hybrid working policy with the flexibility to work from home for up to three days per week (our core hours are 10-4).
