With this growth, they are looking for a Head of BI to strengthen their data function now that the foundations are in place.

• Leading the BI function, driving a technology-first strategy focused on self-service analytics, leveraging the newly developed modern infrastructure.
• Transitioning the business from Excel-based reporting to modern BI platforms, primarily Power BI, with scope to explore AI-based tools. This will automate manual processes and enhance business decision-making.

Role Requirements:

• You must have a strong track record of leading BI functions and delivering self-service analytics capabilities across a business.
