Contract: 3 months rolling
Rate: Up to £435 per day
Clearance: None required

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.

This is not a pure reporting role - you'll play a key part in uplifting the team, embedding best practices, and driving long-term self-sufficiency, while continuing to deliver high-quality Power BI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end Power BI delivery: from data preparation and modelling through to polished, user-friendly dashboards
• Coach and mentor analysts through structured training, 1-2-1 support, and hands-on guidance
• Translate technical concepts into clear, accessible guidance for less experienced team members
• 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
