- Expand and enhance data collection from internal digital sources to support comprehensive reporting.
- Develop, update, and maintain Power BI dashboards and visualisations for management, shareholders, and lenders.
- Translate data requests into actionable analyses—from scoping and extraction to cleaning, validation, and presentation.
- Proactively identify data quality issues and clearly communicate their impact to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Support subsidiaries by devolving routine Power BI report preparation and providing skills transfer and coaching to local teams.
- Document and standardise best practices for data collection, cleaning, and reporting to ensure long-term data consistency across all subsidiaries.
Key Qualifications.
- Relevant Bachelor’s Degree
- Experience of data management, quality control and collection.
- Demonstrated ability to manage data projects end-to-end — from scoping requirements to designing analytical solutions and communicating results.
- Strong critical thinking skills — able to question assumptions, validate data sources, and explain findings and limitations clearly.
- Experience of working with databases, (My)SQL or related, Python and other programming languages.
- Experience of working with data visualisation software such as Tableau or Microsoft PowerBI.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and a willingness to train/coach staff in subsidiary businesses.
