• Build and maintain Power BI semantic models with DAX, KPIs, and row-level security
• Deliver dashboards and reporting across commercial, marketing, and operational performance
• Support analytics use cases including attribution modelling, cohort analysis, and customer segmentation
• Translate business requirements into data solutions and present insights to stakeholders
• Promote best practices in data engineering, documentation, and version control

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Warehouse, pipelines)
• Advanced SQL and strong PySpark experience
• Proficiency in Python for data processing and API integration
• Experience building Power BI models and dashboards for business reporting
• Strong understanding of ETL/ELT design and data modelling principles
