London, United Kingdom
Most Power BI roles ask you to build what someone else hasalready specified. This one asks you to decide how an entire enterprise usesPower BI — and then to make it happen.
A leading UK financial services organisation is standing upa modern cloud data platform, with Power BI as the strategic reporting layer ontopof it. The governed semantic layer, certified datasets, enterprise designstandards and community of practice are still being shaped — and theorganisation is serious enough about data capability to have already investedin it. You will decide what good looks like, and own it end to end.
This is deliberately not a pure Power BI developer role, andequally not a change-management role. It is the rarer combination: someone whocan build a performant enterprise semantic model, credibly challenge adeveloper's DAX, then stand in front of the business and teach it.
What you'll do
- Own the enterprise Power BI adoption roadmap, withmeasurable adoption and value targets.
- Build engagement from the ground up: stakeholder buy-in, achampions network, forums, clinics and a genuine community of practice.
- Design and personally deliver structured training —workshops, learning materials and guidance, pitched from Excel-refugee toseasoned analyst.
- Shape the governed semantic layer alongside dataengineering: consistent KPI definitions, certification processes, namingconventions and refresh strategy.
- Author the enterprise reporting Design Guide — standards,templates, palettes, UX conventions — and hold the organisation to it.
- Establish workspace governance: deployment pipelines,Dev/QA/Prod design, RLS/CLS, sensitivity labelling and auditability.
- Build and optimise flagship dashboards yourself, andtroubleshoot performance where others are stuck.
- Reduce duplicated, ungoverned reporting — and prove youhave.
