• Proven skill in designing and maintaining automated dashboards using Power BI, with a focus on translating complex data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• A deep understanding of marketing performance metrics (ROI, CPA, Churn, CLV) and the ability to integrate external regulatory or market research (e.g., CRU, Ofgem, ESRI) into internal performance benchmarking.
• Strong knowledge of data governance and GDPR compliance, paired with experience in Agile/Scrum environments and the ability to manage multiple reporting streams in a fast-paced, cross-functional setting, working across multiple jurisdictions (ROI, NI & GB).
