What you'll do

  • Own the enterprise Power BI adoption roadmap, with measurable adoption and value targets
  • Build engagement from the ground up: stakeholder buy-in, a champions network, forums, clinics and a genuine community of practice
  • Design and personally deliver structured training — workshops, learning materials and guidance, pitched from Excel-refugee to seasoned analyst
  • Shape the governed semantic layer alongside data engineering: consistent KPI definitions, certification processes, naming conventions and refresh strategy
  • Author the enterprise reporting Design Guide — standards, templates, palettes, UX conventions — and hold the organisation to it
  • Establish workspace governance: deployment pipelines, Dev/QA/Prod design, RLS/CLS, sensitivity labelling and auditability
  • Build and optimise flagship dashboards yourself, and troubleshoot performance where others are stuck
  • Reduce duplicated, ungoverned reporting — and prove you have

What we're looking for

  • Power BI technical depth — personally delivered enterprise-scale Power BI; advanced DAX, Power Query/M, semantic model design and optimisation, large and complex datasets, workspace strategy and administration, RLS, certified datasets; able to coach on all of it and push back on poor implementation
  • Adoption & change leadership — created an enterprise adoption roadmap, run champion networks, driven cultural change around data-driven decision making, and measured adoption and business value
  • Training & enablement — designed and personally delivered structured training programmes and built the materials yourself
  • Governance & operating model — reporting standards, dashboard design principles, workspace management, certified dataset processes and self-service controls; know how to scale Power BI without creating a governance problem

Nice to have

  • Microsoft Fabric — architecture, capacity and medallion/lakehouse patterns
  • Power Apps, ideally integrated with Power BI
  • Sensitive, confidential or regulated data; Azure exposure; PL-300 and/or

How to get hired

  1. 1Shortlisted candidates prepare a maximum of two PowerPoint slides on their approach to enterprise Power BI adoption, and demo a Power BI dashboard they personally designed and built on a dataset of their choice — covering the business problem, storytelling, accessibility and how they would drive ongoing usage
