The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of data warehousing principles and the ability to maintain and enhance semantic models without disrupting existing structures.

• Analyse and interpret complex data sets to provide actionable insights.
• Work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver solutions that meet business needs.
• Integrate and optimise data flows from internal and external systems within an Azure ecosystem.
• Train and support internal users to ensure successful adoption of reporting.
