About the position

ENVIRONMENT:

Own the end-to-end design and development of sophisticated Power BI dashboards and management information solutions for the Licence to Operate programme.  This is not simply a dashboard-building role. The individual must be sufficiently senior to engage stakeholders, interrogate requirements, understand complex risk and control data, integrate multiple data sources and independently translate business questions into high-quality analytical products.

DUTIES:

  • Design, build and deploy sophisticated Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions.
  • Work with business, risk, technology and control stakeholders to understand the underlying questions dashboards need to answer.
  • Analyse and integrate data from multiple systems and data sources, including situations where the data landscape may initially be unclear.
  • Understand the underlying controls, metrics, KRIs, KPIs, thresholds, risk indicators and management actions represented by the data.
  • Develop appropriate data models, semantic layers, measures and calculations required to support the dashboards.
  • Design reporting that enables users to move from enterprise-level risk visibility through to detailed underlying drivers and exceptions.
  • Build tailored dashboard experiences for different audiences, including:
  • Executive leadership
  • Management
  • Risk and control owners
  • Technical and operational teams
    • Enable drill-down, trend analysis, exception reporting, root-cause exploration and proactive identification of emerging risks.
    • Ensure dashboards are performant, scalable, intuitive and maintainable.
    • Establish appropriate Power BI development standards, documentation and governance.
    • Work closely with the UI/UX Designer to ensure dashboards are both analytically rigorous and exceptionally easy to consume.
    • Provide documentation and knowledge transfer to the client’s internal teams.


REQUIREMENTS:

  • We are looking for a highly experienced Power BI specialist, ideally with 8+ years of BI/data analytics experience and significant enterprise Power BI delivery experience.

Strong candidates should demonstrate:

  • Advanced Power BI development expertise.
  • Expert-level DAX.
  • Strong Power Query / M capability.
  • Advanced data modelling and dimensional modelling.
  • Experience integrating multiple and heterogeneous data sources.
  • Strong SQL capability.
  • Experience with Power BI Service, workspaces, deployment, security and governance.
  • Strong understanding of dashboard performance optimisation.
  • Experience designing executive and management dashboards, rather than purely operational reports.
  • Ability to work independently with senior stakeholders and ambiguous requirements.
  • Strong analytical capability and ability to understand what the data is actually communicating.

Highly Desirable:

  • Experience within a large bank or financial services environment, particularly in one or more of:
  • Technology risk, operational risk, controls, compliance, regulatory reporting, technology operations, IT service management, resilience or Licence to Operate environments.

Desired Skills:

  • Senior
  • BI
  • Power
