  • Work closely with stakeholders to understand business challenges and translate them into actionable insights.
  • Design and deliver high-quality Power BI dashboards and reports that drive decision-making.

  • Contribute to the design of a governed, scalable data architecture across the Group.
  • Develop and maintain data pipelines and transformations using modern tools and approaches.
  • Help define and promote best practices in data modelling, performance, and usability.
• Driving Digital Transformation
  • Identify opportunities to replace manual, paper-based, and spreadsheet-driven processes with digital solutions.
  • Work with business stakeholders to redesign processes using data and technology.
  • Deliver solutions that not only provide insight but enable real-time action and improved control.
  • Contribute to a culture of data-driven decision-making across the organisation.
• Power Platform & Process Digitisation (Core Focus)
  • Design and develop Power Apps (Canvas Apps) to digitise manual, paper-based, and spreadsheet-driven processes across the business.
  • Build solutions that allow users not just to view data, but to capture, update, and act on it in real time.
  • Use Power Automate to streamline workflows, approvals, and operational processes.
  • Work directly with business users to design solutions that are intuitive, scalable, and widely adopted.
  • Play a key role in reducing reliance on Excel and improving data integrity across business processes.
• Collaboration, Standards & Continuous Improvement
  • Partner with teams across finance, manufacturing, supply chain, and project delivery.
  • Contribute to data governance, security, and development standards.
  • Support structured development practices using tools such as Azure DevOps and Git.
  • Provide guidance and support within the team, including mentoring where appropriate.
