About the Client We are a small, growing start-up with a lean team and a strong focus on technology, systems, productivity and continuous improvement. We currently have a team of 10 staff working across different functions, supported by apprentices who use AI and modern digital tools as part of their development and work. Because we operate with a lean structure, we need an operations professional who can understand how the business actually works, examine the detail behind reported performance, identify issues that management may not have noticed, and turn findings into practical action. About the Role We are seeking a highly analytical, creative, and solution-oriented Power BI Consultant who combines strong technical expertise with exceptional critical-thinking skills. The ideal candidate must be more than a dashboard developer — we need a strategic thinker who can examine complex data, identify patterns, challenge assumptions, and translate business information into meaningful insights that support better decision-making. The successful candidate should be comfortable working independently, asking the right questions, identifying problems before they escalate, and recommending innovative, data-driven solutions. Key Responsibilities
  1. Design, develop, and maintain interactive Power BI dashboards and reports.
  2. Analyse complex datasets to identify trends, patterns, risks, opportunities, and actionable business insights.
  3. Develop efficient data models, establish relationships, and write DAX measures and calculations.
  4. Connect Power BI to multiple data sources, clean data using Power Query, and ensure data accuracy.
  5. Translate business requirements into analytical solutions that address real business problems.
  6. Apply critical thinking to investigate discrepancies, challenge assumptions, and identify the root causes of problems.
  7. Recommend improvements to reporting processes, data management, and business performance monitoring.
  8. Present findings and insights clearly to stakeholders, explaining not only what the data shows but also why it matters.
  9. Work independently, manage priorities, and deliver high-quality results within agreed deadlines.
  10. Continuously explore better analytical methods, automation opportunities, and innovative ways to improve reporting.
Required Qualifications and Skills
  1. Proven experience using Microsoft Power BI to develop reports and dashboards.
  2. Strong knowledge of DAX, Power Query, data modelling, and data visualisation principles.
  3. Proficiency in SQL and experience working with databases or multiple data sources.
  4. Excellent analytical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
  5. Ability to interpret data, identify meaningful insights, and make evidence-based recommendations.
  6. Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
  7. Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical findings in simple business language.
  8. Ability to work independently, take initiative, and approach challenges with curiosity and creativity.
The Kind of Person We Want We are looking for a thinker first and a technical expert second — someone who does not merely follow instructions but understands the problem behind the task.
  1. Asks thoughtful questions before jumping to conclusions.
  2. Can break down complex problems into manageable parts.
  3. Thinks logically, critically, and strategically.
  4. Challenges inefficient processes and proposes better alternatives.
  5. Connects data findings to practical business decisions.
  6. Takes ownership of tasks and can justify recommendations with evidence.
  7. Is curious, adaptable, resourceful, and committed to continuous improvement.
How to Apply Interested candidates should submit their CV, a brief summary of their Power BI experience, and examples of relevant dashboards or analytical projects where available. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate their analytical reasoning and problem-solving abilities as part of the selection process.

We value people who can think independently, question intelligently, solve problems creatively, and turn data into decisions.
