• Support end users by answering report-related questions, investigating issues and proposing pragmatic improvements.
• Contribute to a more structured reporting factory model by promoting reusable reports, shared definitions and long‑term product thinking rather than one‑dashboard delivery.
• Document key assumptions, data definitions, report logic and user guidance in a clear and practical way.
• Hands‑on Power BI development – "doer" profile

• Create and optimise DAX measures to support Finance KPIs, variance analysis, trend analysis and business performance tracking.
• Improve report performance by optimising data models, measures, visuals, refresh logic and dataset size where relevant.
• Maintain existing reports: fix bugs, simplify complex logic, improve usability and remove obsolete content.
• Manage the report lifecycle, including usage monitoring, continuous improvement, version follow‑up and quality checks before release.
• Work with source data from Finance systems such as SAP Finance modules, HFM, Microsoft SQL Server and other ERPs or data platforms.
• Contribute to Power BI development standards, governance rules and reusable templates for Finance reporting.
• Be comfortable working in a Microsoft ecosystem, including Power BI Service and Microsoft Fabric where relevant.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2–3 years of hands‑on experience with Power BI development.
• Strong practical experience in Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, data modelling, DAX, report design and performance optimisation.
• Ability to work autonomously and deliver concrete outputs, not only coordinate or specify requirements.

• Strong communication skills: able to interact with business stakeholders, explain technical topics simply and translate business needs into working reports.
• Structured mindset, attention to quality and focus on sustainable solutions.
