About the job

Job summary

The Data & Analytics (D&A) team is at the heart of VisitBritain/VisitEngland’s ambition to be a data-led organisation. This BI Lead role provides maternity cover for a critical position within the team, responsible for delivering the business intelligence and reporting capability that supports evidence-based decision making across the organisation.

The role delivers dashboard and self-service reporting capability using Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, working within the D&A team’s established delivery standards and sprint-based working practices. The team is actively exploring how AI-assisted analytics can be embedded into day-to-day workflows.

The postholder is the sole BI resource in the team and plays a central role in maintaining reporting continuity during a significant period of organisational change, including the transition away from the external data transformation partner. The BI Lead will report into the Head of Data & Analytics and work closely with the Data Engineer, Analytics Lead, and BA.

Key tools and standards you will be expected to work within include:

Power BI and Microsoft Fabric for dashboard development and self-service analytics.

Azure Databricks for building and maintaining semantic and view layers that underpin reporting.

Jira for sprint and roadmap management.

SQL as the primary language for data querying, transformation, and view development.

Azure DevOps for source control and version management of BI assets.

Coding standards and peer review processes mandated by the D&A team.
