* Maintain reporting structures, hierarchies and reference data in line with governance standards
* Apply strong data quality controls in a regulated environment and proactively investigate and resolve issues
* Support the integration of new data sources into reporting platforms, working closely with data and engineering teams
* Assist with mapping, testing and validation to ensure reporting aligns with underlying data models
* Contribute to the automation and improvement of reporting processes to drive efficiency
* Spot opportunities to simplify and enhance reporting, feeding ideas into the wider reporting and analytics roadmap
Skills & Experience:
* Experience delivering BI reporting in a data‑driven environment – ideally working with/supporting senior leadership
* Strong hands‑on Power BI experience, with a focus on building clear, impactful outputs
* Ability to understand and translate business needs in to data and reporting
* A commercial mindset, with the ability to interpret data and identify trends, risks and opportunities
* Confidence communicating insight to senior, non‑technical stakeholders with clarity and professionalism
* Exposure to SQL‑based environments (experience with Snowflake or Alteryx is useful but not essential)
* Comfort working within governance, controls and audit requirements
This role is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, stakeholder interaction, and adding value quickly in a business that genuinely uses data to drive decisions.
