Overview
We're looking for a Senior Power BI Consultant / Manager to join a growing analytics function, combining hands‑on delivery expertise with team capability building.

- Identify capability gaps and define practical upskilling and training approaches
- Provide guidance on migration from Qlik to Power BI (where relevant)
- Champion best practices across:
- Data modelling
- DAX development
- Visual design
- Governance
- Work independently with stakeholders to identify opportunities for improvement
- Create clear documentation to support knowledge sharing and reuse
Core Experience (Must Have)
- Extensive hands‑on Power BI experience in production environments (end‑to‑end delivery)
- Strong expertise in:
- Power Query (M) for data transformation
- DAX, with a focus on scalable, best‑practice development
- Strong data visualisation and UX skills, producing intuitive, business‑friendly dashboards
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Fabric and Power BI integration
- Solid SQL skills for working with underlying data sources
- Proven experience in:
- Coaching and mentoring technical teams
- Delivering both structured and ad‑hoc training
- Excellent communication skills – able to explain complex concepts to non‑technical users
- Proactive mindset with the ability to identify gaps and drive improvements independently
Desirable Experience
- Exposure to Qlik (QlikView/Qlik Sense) or experience with migration to Power BI
- Experience defining Power BI standards, governance, or capability frameworks
- Experience building custom visuals or advanced dashboard features
