- Experience delivering BI & Insight 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 into data and reporting
- Provide commercially driven insights and recommendations off the back of 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)
