• Build and maintain Power BI semantic models, reports and dashboards that turn complex data into accessible insights.


• Help shape our modern BI environment, supporting the transition to Microsoft Fabric while maintaining critical legacy BI solutions.


• Partner with stakeholders to understand reporting and analytics needs and translate them into effective, user-friendly solutions.


• Champion self-service analytics, helping our people confidently use data to make informed decisions.


• Contribute to quality BI solutions that are robust, maintainable, well documented and aligned to our data architecture and governance standards.

• Work for a company that has an aspiration to be globally recognised for early years practice and learning outcomes


• Gain significant investment in your growth and development with support, tools, training and experiences that will truly enhance the progress and outcomes for children in their earliest years.

You’ll bring to the table:

You’ll be an experienced BI professional who enjoys getting into the technical detail but can also step back and understand the people and business needs behind the data.

You’ll bring:

• Around 5+ years’ experience in BI development, consulting or a closely related discipline.


• Demonstrated experience developing Power BI semantic models and visualisations.


• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, along with a strong understanding of SQL and DAX.


• Knowledge of data platforms, BI platforms, semantic modelling, data architecture, governance, reporting and analytics.

• Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.


• Experience working within RAD and Agile methodologies.


• A genuine interest in continuing to learn and develop as modern data platforms and technologies evolve.


• Experience with SAP HANA, SAP Business Objects, SAP Data Services or other legacy SAP BI toolsets will be highly regarded, as will a relevant qualification in Information Technology, Business Studies or a related discipline.
