PowerBI Development Lead

Description

Are you a seasoned Power BI expert with a passion for driving impactful visualisations? We're on the lookout for a dynamic Power BI Development Lead to own and elevate our dashboard reporting capabilities. You'll set the standards for quality, consistency, and governance, acting as the go-to subject matter expert. Leading our BI strategy, architecture, and team of talented developers and analysts, you'll ensure our dashboards deliver clear, actionable insights that meet business needs with precision and confidence.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Power BI visualisers and report builders, fostering best practices and standards.
• Define and enforce dashboard guardrails, standards, and best practices to ensure consistency and high quality across all reports.
• Oversee the Power BI Service environment, managing workspace access, data refresh schedules, and capacity planning.
• Review existing dashboards against guardrails, conducting gap analyses to maintain alignment with quality standards.
• Collaborate with governance and platform teams to improve dashboard release processes and monitor system performance.
• Define enterprise BI architecture, including data models and security frameworks, to support scalable and secure insights.
• Facilitate knowledge sharing within the visualisation community, promoting user-centric design and adoption of new Power BI features.
• Ensure dashboards are intuitive, actionable, and aligned with user needs, championing best practices in visualisation delivery.
