Lead Data & BI Engineer (Power BI & Fabric)

Candidate Description

With over eight years navigating the retail, manufacturing and consulting sectors, this data-driven professional excels at translating complex information into clear, actionable insights. Adept at both on-premises and cloud ecosystems, they bring deep expertise across Power BI, Qlik Sense, Snowflake and Azure to deliver robust enterprise analytics solutions that align tightly with strategic objectives.

Their technical acumen is demonstrated through architecting modern data stacks incorporating Microsoft Fabric, OneLake and dbt, as well as designing 30 GB+ tabular cubes in Azure Analysis Services. They have led teams to migrate hundreds of legacy SAP BW reports to Qlik Sense, embedded analytics within Salesforce and SharePoint, and automated KPI delivery via Power Apps and Power Automate. Successes include slashing report run-times by 80 %, cutting manual effort by 10+ hours per week and enabling self-service analytics for more than 500 users.

Beyond hands-on delivery, this individual provides mentorship, fosters centres of excellence and steers Agile ceremonies to maintain predictable cadence and stakeholder engagement. Their blend of leadership, modern cloud engineering and storytelling ensures organisations such as a Major Retailer, a Retail Group and a Manufacturing Company harness data for smarter, faster decision-making and sustained commercial growth.
