Microsoft Fabric BI Developer
Data Platform & Reporting Manager
Standard 8 is partnering with a heavily regulated, engineering-led business looking for someone to take full ownership of its data platform and reporting estate.

- Build and manage data pipelines via Azure Data Factory / Fabric
- Keep data flowing cleanly from source systems (including SAP environments)
- Set standards for storage, performance and platform reliability
- Run the reporting environment properly — workspaces, deployments, capacity
- Design robust Power BI semantic models (clean logic, reusable, fast)
- Deliver dashboards, paginated reports and apps people rely on
- Make reporting usable on mobile for operational teams
- Create “golden datasets” to enable proper self-service (without chaos)
- Lock down data properly — RLS, OLS, roles and access control
- Ensure everything meets strict regulatory standards (GDPR, PCI, ITAR)
- Act as the go-to person for the reporting platform
- Train users and push adoption across the business
- Move teams away from spreadsheets and into governed reporting
What you need
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (Warehouse + Lakehouse)
- Proven track record building data pipelines (ADF / Fabric)
- Deep Power BI experience (modelling, DAX, admin, performance)
- Solid grasp of data modelling and transformation (Power Query, Python)
- Experience working with ERP/MRP data (messy, high-volume, real-world)
- Confidence xwzovoh handling financial data where accuracy matters
Nice to have:
- SAP Datasphere exposure
- PowerShell / R for automation or analysis
The profile
- Proper data engineer who understands reporting — not one or the other
- Comfortable owning a platform, not just contributing to one
- Able to challenge stakeholders and cut through bad requirements
- Brings structure, standards and a bit of backbone
Other
- Degree helpful, not essential
- Power BI certification a bonus
- Must be eligible for UK SC Clearance
