JOB PURPOSE
As a Business Intelligence Consultant at DEPT®, you help our clients turn complex data into clear, actionable insight. You work closely with stakeholders to understand how their business is run, what decisions they need to make, and which KPIs truly matter – then translate this into smart BI solutions and dashboards that people actually use.
As a Business Intelligence Consultant, you are the absolute expert in translating business questions into data products, designing clear dashboard concepts and validating data with stakeholders. You know how to work with multiple data sources, set up and maintain data connections, and guide clients in choosing and using the right BI tools. You help clients not only get the right data in the right place, but also feel confident using it to steer their marketing, e‑commerce and wider business performance. The BI Consultant will also actively contribute to the ongoing growth and success of the department and team.

- Conduct audits of existing BI and reporting setups, assessing data quality, tooling, processes and overall data maturity;
- Collaborate closely with client- and in‑house teams to guide them on best practices for data collection, modelling and visualisation;
- Enable and onboard clients on their dashboards and reports, ensuring stakeholders understand, adopt and use them to drive decisions;
