Help Shape the Future of Data Driven Operations

Here at Calisen, we're transforming the way we use data to drive operational performance, improve customer outcomes and support smarter decision-making across the business.

We're looking for an experienced Operational Business Intelligence (BI) Manager to lead the development of our operational BI capability. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on turning complex operational data into meaningful insight, enjoys solving business challenges through technology, and wants to make a visible impact across a fast-paced operation.

Working closely with teams across Operations, Commercial and Finance, you'll be the go-to expert for business intelligence, leading the design of dashboards, reporting solutions and automation that help our teams work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions.

What You'll Be Doing

As our Operational Business Intelligence Manager, you will:

  • Lead the development and delivery of operational BI solutions using Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, SQL and Power Platform technologies
  • Design and maintain dashboards, reports and data models that provide clear, actionable insight
  • Partner with operational stakeholders to understand business challenges and identify opportunities for performance improvement
  • Drive greater visibility of operational KPIs and performance trends
  • Develop scalable reporting and analytics solutions that support strategic and operational decision-making
  • Automate manual reporting processes to improve efficiency and reduce errors
  • Establish and champion best practice in data governance, reporting standards and data quality
  • Act as the organisation's subject matter expert for operational business intelligence and analytics
  • Lead, coach and develop a small team of BI professionals
  • Promote data-driven decision making across the business

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
