About the role

We’re excited to be looking for a Business Intelligence (BI) Manager to join our Enterprise Reporting team to help us strengthen how NCFE uses data to make confident, and informed decisions.

We’re a collaborative, delivery‑focused team responsible for creating trusted reporting and insight that supports everything from day‑to‑day operations to long‑term strategic planning. We work closely with colleagues across data, governance and the wider organisation to make sure everyone has access to reliable information when they need it

In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping our BI capability and helping to build a modern, consistent approach to reporting across NCFE. You’ll take ownership of how we define, structure and maintain our core datasets and metrics, ensuring the organisation operates from a single source of truth. You’ll drive improvements in our BI processes, standards and workflows so that reporting is robust, scalable and aligned with organisational needs. Working closely with teams across NCFE, you’ll translate their challenges into meaningful reporting solutions and influence how we evolve our data and reporting practices as we continue to mature.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Lead and support BI developers to deliver high‑quality, consistent reporting and dashboards that people can trust.
• Manage and prioritise a structured BI roadmap, ensuring work is aligned with organisational priorities.
• Shape and oversee our semantic layer and shared datasets so reporting is aligned, standardised and based on validated data.
• Improve how BI products are governed, deployed and maintained, ensuring they remain reliable and easy to use.
• Build strong relationships across the business to ensure reporting meets real needs and drives confident decision‑making

We’d love to hear from you if you offer the following:

• Experience owning or leading BI delivery with a focus on quality, consistency and good governance 
• Practical experience building or overseeing reporting products using Power BI or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of data modelling, semantic layers, shared datasets or enterprise‑level reporting concepts.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non‑technical teams, simplifying complex ideas where needed.
• Confidence in prioritising work, managing demand and keeping stakeholders aligned around what matters most.
