• Strong stakeholder management across retail business functions and technology teams.

You'll design and deliver enterprise Power BI reporting solutions supporting key retail transformation workstreams, including:

• Building high-quality Power BI dashboards and reports.
• Translating complex retail requirements into scalable reporting solutions.
• Developing semantic models using dimensional and star-schema principles.
• Building complex DAX measures, KPIs and Power Query transformations.
• Working with retail and omnichannel stakeholders to define meaningful business metrics.
• Integrating Power BI with SQL Server, Azure, Databricks, APIs, SharePoint and other enterprise data sources.
• Optimising datasets, refresh processes and report performance.
• Implementing Row-Level Security and data governance best practices.
• Working alongside Data Engineers and Business Analysts to determine whether metrics should sit within Power BI or upstream ETL processes.
• Helping embed transformation reporting into a sustainable BAU retail reporting environment.
