Senior Data & Reporting Analyst | East Sussex (hybrid, 2 days) | £70-75k + benefits | Permanent
An insurance business is hiring a Senior Data & Reporting Analyst into its Data, MI & Automation team. It’s a team of eight, and you’d report to the Head of Data, MI & Automation.
The role
- Own business-critical MI, including legacy Excel/VBA reporting, and keep it running reliably in the short term.
- Then modernise it: move manual, spreadsheet-based reporting into governed Power BI, Power Query and Power Automate solutions.
- Support a data platform programme bringing in new tooling (Databricks, Ataccama, Timbr), focused on data validation and mapping.
- Build Power BI reports and data models (star schema, DAX), with proper documentation, lineage and reconciliations.
- Work with a wide range of stakeholders, including some demanding ones. Challenge requirements where needed and explain technical points clearly.
- Act as a senior voice in the team: coach and upskill colleagues. There is no line management for now, but there is scope for it later.
What you’ll need
- A track record of owning MI/BI reporting end to end.
- Advanced Excel. VBA/macro experience is a real plus.
- Strong Power BI (data modelling, DAX, workspaces, refresh) and Power Query.
- Working SQL.
- Experience migrating manual reporting to automated, governed solutions.
- Confident stakeholder management.
Nice to have
- Insurance or financial services data (claims, policy, customer).
- Power Automate.
- Databricks or data quality/catalogue tools.
- Agile ways of working.
- Practical use of AI tools in reporting.
