Data Governance and Reporting Manager in Lincoln

With 30 years of industry expertise, Apogee supports organisations of all sizes and sectors by streamlining their IT needs through a single point of contact. As an independent subsidiary of HP Inc, we have the advantage of being part of one of the world’s leading technology companies, with instant access to the latest innovation all supported by our market leading service operations. Our core values - Integrity, Passion, Courtesy & Respect, Inclusivity, Knowledge, People, and Flexibility - shape our culture and guide our actions. We prioritise ethical business practices, fostering relationships and promoting diversity and inclusion.

We are looking for a strategic and hands‑on data professional to take ownership of our data journey. Currently, data is fragmented across the business, with no single source of truth, limiting our ability to drive insights and leverage AI. You will play a key role in introducing data governance, designing and building a data warehouse, and ensuring alignment with a major ERP transformation project. With a gap in Power BI and Power Apps expertise, we need someone confident in developing dashboards, apps, and scalable reporting solutions. This is a unique opportunity to shape our data strategy from the ground up, influence how data is used across the organisation, and eventually build out a high‑performing team. If you are both a thinker and a doer, ready to help move the business away from Excel dependency and into a more intelligent, data‑driven future, we would love to hear from you.
