If you enjoy owning reporting outcomes end‑to‑end, influencing how organisations use data, and working at the intersection of technology, governance, and decision‑making this role will give you both impact and challenge.

You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary Information & Technology team as a senior technical specialist, operating at an EL1‑equivalent level. Your work will directly support operational effectiveness, executive reporting, and long‑term data strategy.

  • Design, build, test, and release dashboards and reports that answer real operational questions

  • Document what you deliver and hand it over cleanly so teams can confidently support and evolve it
  • Identify ways to get more value from existing BI platforms and work with delivery teams to implement enhancements and upgrades
  • This is a senior specialist role where your judgement, prioritisation, and ability to lead through influence matter just as much as your technical skill.

  • Enterprise data platforms and secure reporting environments
  • Governance frameworks, architecture patterns, and reporting standards
To be successful in this role, you will have

  • A collaborative working style and experience partnering with developers, analysts, and engineers
  • Experience improving reporting maturity across organisations rather than just delivering one‑off dashboards
