Business Intelligence Analyst

Business Intelligence Developer – Power BI | 18-Month FTC | £46,472 – £51,607 - Remote Are you a Power BI Developer or BI Analyst who enjoys getting underneath the data, building robust semantic models and turning complex datasets into reporting that people can actually use? Salary: £46,472 – £51,607 Contract: 18-month fixed-term contract Location: remote Team: Data Products Start: Ideally late September / early October 2026 An annual spine-point uplift is also applicable for eligible employees with six or more months' service. The University is looking for a Business Intelligence Developer to join its Data Products team at an exciting point in the university's data and reporting journey. This isn't a role where you'll simply be maintaining existing dashboards. You'll be joining during a major student record implementation and data transformation programme, helping the university understand, develop and improve the reporting capability around its new data environment while continuing to deliver high-quality BI solutions across the university. If you enjoy working out where the data comes from, how it fits together, why the numbers don't match and how to turn it into a well-designed Power BI solution, this could be a great fit. What you'll be doing You'll work across both project and BAU activity, with at least 50% of your time expected to support the Banner implementation and associated reporting work. The technology We're particularly interested in people with strong hands-on experience across: Power BI | SQL | DAX | Power Query | Semantic Modelling | Data Transformation You'll ideally have: • Strong experience developing Power BI reports and dashboards. • Good SQL skills and confidence working with relational data. • Strong understanding of data modelling and relationships. • Practical experience with DAX and Power Query. • Experience investigating and improving existing Power BI reports. • An understanding of how modelling decisions can affect report performance and usability. • The ability to work independently and get to grips with unfamiliar datasets. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • The confidence to work with both technical colleagues and non-technical stakeholders. Higher Education experience? It would be useful, particularly if you've worked with student, curriculum or institutional data, but it isn't essential. We're equally interested in strong BI professionals coming from other data-intensive environments, particularly local government, housing associations, public sector or similarly complex organisations. What matters is your ability to understand data, build excellent Power BI solutions and work through problems independently. Why? You'll be joining at a point where there is a genuine opportunity to influence how reporting develops. The university is progressing through a significant student system implementation, and you'll have the opportunity to work across the intersection of: Data → Modelling → Power BI → Reporting → Transformation You'll also work closely with the Data Products team and colleagues across IT, with the opportunity to contribute beyond individual dashboards and help shape how institutional data is turned into useful insight. This is an ideal opportunity for a BI Developer who wants more than BAU reporting and wants to be involved in a meaningful data transformation programme. Interested? If you've got the Power BI + SQL + data modelling capability and you're looking for an opportunity where you can get involved in a major data transformation programme, this could be the next step for you.
