Therefore, first and foremost we recruit with our cultural fit in mind.

Job Overview/Purpose

The Reporting and Insight Analyst: Data will turn complex, layered datasets into compelling visual stories and one-view insights that help stakeholders understand performance, navigate multiple moving parts and make confident decisions.

Initially, the role will support the internal Customer Zero initiative, working across the business to understand strategic questions, review the existing reporting estate and create distinctive dashboards and analytical experiences. The emphasis is on evolving how and what Transparity reports, rather than simply maintaining dashboards or data feeds, and presenting complex information with clarity, creativity and impact for senior stakeholders.

The role will own the insight and reporting lifecycle from discovery and visual concept through data analysis, semantic modelling, rapid prototyping, UAT, release, adoption and continuous improvement. This includes assessing existing reports, dashboards, KPIs and models, prioritising valuable improvements and retiring redundant or outdated content.

This is a visual storytelling and insight role as much as a technical one. The successful candidate will be naturally curious, experiment with emerging tooling, and explore state-of-the-art ways to bring data to life through layered dashboards, interactive experiences and rapid mock-ups. They will challenge requirements constructively and help stakeholders focus on the decisions and business outcomes that matter.

As the role develops, these capabilities will extend into customer-facing consultancy and presales. Following discovery sessions or workshops, the analyst may rapidly create frontier mock-ups of dashboards or web-app experiences that show customers what their data could look like once the underlying platform has been built, helping to communicate value and shape future solutions.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Own reporting and insight solutions end-to-end, taking them from stakeholder discovery and initial concept through design, semantic modelling, development, UAT, release and continuous improvement.

• Partner with stakeholders to understand the business decisions behind reporting requests, challenging requirements where needed and turning complex data into clear, engaging dashboards and actionable insight.

• Take ownership of technical quality and best practice, ensuring reporting is accurate, performant, accessible, governed and supported by trusted KPIs, measures and business definitions.

• Design and maintain robust, reusable semantic models and analytical products, creating a trusted foundation for reporting, self-service analytics and future experiences across Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Copilot and AI.

• Work closely with Data Engineering and wider technical teams to shape data requirements, improve quality and solve underlying data challenges, using SQL, DAX and other appropriate tools to analyse and validate data.

• Help evolve Transparity’s wider reporting estate and standards, reviewing existing dashboards and models, improving or retiring assets and developing reusable patterns, documentation and approaches for the Data Practice.

• Experiment and innovate, using rapid prototypes, Microsoft Fabric, Copilot and emerging AI-enabled capabilities to demonstrate new ways customers and internal stakeholders can explore, understand and interact with their data.

Skills, experience and qualifications

• Strong experience owning and delivering reporting, analytics or BI solutions end-to-end, with the confidence to drive a consistent reporting estate and demonstrate tangible business value from the insight produced.

• Strong hands-on Microsoft Power BI expertise, including dashboard and report development, semantic modelling and DAX, with a portfolio or demonstrable track record of making complex data clear, intuitive and engaging.

• A strong understanding of data modelling, SQL and data transformation, with the ability to bring together multiple data sources and build trusted, reusable models that support reporting and self-service analytics.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, able to understand the real business question, define meaningful KPIs, challenge requirements constructively and confidently guide stakeholders towards the right solution.

• A proactive approach to UAT, adoption and continuous improvement, using stakeholder feedback and usage to evolve reporting products and maximise the insight, decision-making and commercial benefit they deliver.

• A high bar for technical standards and reporting best practice, including data quality, governance, performance, accessibility, usability, documentation and lifecycle management, combined with the independence to champion those standards.

• A curious, forward-thinking mindset, with an interest in Microsoft Fabric, Copilot, generative AI and rapid prototyping. Exposure to Python/notebooks, consultancy environments and Microsoft certifications such as PL-300, DP-600 or DP-700 would be beneficial.
