The Senior Finance BI Analyst bridges the gap between Finance business needs and BI/data platforms such as Power BI and the underlying data warehouse, providing technical leadership and driving improvements in reporting, automation, data quality and governance. This role is a 12 month Fixed Term Contract.
You'll make an impact by: Data, Reporting & Dashboards
- Lead the design, development and ongoing enhancement of Finance dashboards and reports in Power BI to a high standard of accuracy, usability, performance and scalability.
- Respond to ad hoc data, insight and analysis requests from Finance, proactively prioritising demand and managing the delivery pipeline based on business value, urgency and strategic priorities.
- Identify, lead and implement automation opportunities across recurring Finance reporting to reduce manual effort and improve reliability, consistency and turnaround time.
- Develop and optimise SQL queries against the data warehouse, including Redshift, to extract, transform and validate Finance datasets.
- Establish and promote BI development standards, reusable components and best practices to improve consistency and maintainability across Finance reporting.
- Provide technical guidance, peer review and mentoring to other BI analysts, supporting capability uplift across the team.
Insights & Analysis
- Perform variance, trend, cohort and driver-based analysis to explain financial performance and identify opportunities and risks.
- Translate complex data into clear narratives, visualisations and actionable recommendations tailored to Finance and senior leadership audiences.
- Support budgeting, forecasting and month-end processes with timely, accurate data and analytical inputs.
- Investigate reporting anomalies, conduct root-cause analysis and drive appropriate remediation and preventive actions, including resolution at the source where possible.
- Proactively identify emerging trends, risks and opportunities within Finance data rather than relying solely on stakeholder-driven requests.
- Partner with Finance leaders to translate commercial and financial questions into analytical approaches that support informed decision-making.
AI, Automation & Innovation
- Identify and evaluate opportunities to apply AI and Generative AI to Finance BI, reporting, analysis and operational processes.
- Use AI-enabled capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot and AI-assisted analytics, to improve productivity, insight generation, report development, documentation and analytical workflows.
