- Assist with the development and validation of standardized dashboards and reports
- Ensure data accuracy, refresh reliability, and compliance with governance standards
- Work within platforms such as Azure DevOps, cloud-based data lakes, and BI tools

- Partner with internal teams through hands-on co-development sessions
- Create and maintain Wikis, runbooks, and playbooks for long-term ownership
- Deliver role-based training and support organizational readiness initiatives

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
