Your new role
The Digital Services Directorate is a fast-paced and dynamic function and recognises that in order to keep improving, we need to put data at the centre of the decisions we make - ensuring we are truly data-led.
As a Senior BI Developer, you will lead the business intelligence development arm of the Performance and Business Reporting team. You will drive efficiencies and improvements to Digital Services data visualisation and reporting capabilities whilst identifying opportunities to showcase our data in new and engaging ways across the business.
This will involve leading on business requirements analysis, along with the solution and data design and build. The position is very much a hybrid role - the ability to accurately gather and document requirements is important along with the ability to design and build solution.
What you'll be leading on
- Act as a key business partner to teams across the Digital Services Directorate to understand their critical business challenges and needs from a data perspective.
- Influence the approaches to using data across the Digital Services Directorate. Driving a data-led culture and providing advice and recommendations on how data can improve business initiatives.
- Develop engaging and innovative data presentation techniques and identify opportunities to improve existing reports.
- Work across the entire Digital Services Directorate, proactively identifying opportunities for automation of data reporting and visualisation.
- Have the confidence to challenge the status quo and develop creative solutions to complex problems.
- Establish best practices for data visualisation and reporting. So, data can be easily interpreted and utilised to inform business decisions.
- Adopt a continuous learning approach to business intelligence development and reporting techniques, keeping up to date with the latest practices and thinking.
- Support and train members of the 'Performance and Business Reporting' function in best practice and dashboard development.
