BI & Reporting Analyst (Cognos / Power BI)
Location: UK – Fully Remote
Salary: £60,000 - £65,000 per annum
About the Role
The role has two clear strands of work: maintaining and supporting the Cognos and Power BI reports that the business currently relies on, and helping test that those same reports continue to function correctly as the underlying data warehouse migrates to the cloud. You will report into a hands-on team lead and work alongside a senior Power BI specialist and a SQL engineer.
This is a hire into a small, established BI/reporting team of around six people, sitting inside a large, established business that is in the process of moving its data infrastructure from on-premise SQL systems to a new AWS/Redshift environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain existing Cognos and Power BI reports, including fixing issues, adding new columns, and processing access requests.
- Test reports and front-end applications to confirm they continue to function correctly as data moves from on-premise SQL to AWS Redshift.
- Handle day-to-day support tickets from business users alongside longer-term modernisation project work.
- Meet with senior stakeholders, including directors, to gather reporting requirements and translate them into working solutions.
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, including where AI tools could be applied.
