Senior Finance BI Analyst

Your opportunity

As our valued Senior Finance BI Analyst, you will play a vital role in leading the design and delivery of Finance BI and analytics solutions, building and maintaining dashboards, performing deep-dive analysis, and ensuring stakeholders have accurate, timely and trusted information to support planning, forecasting and decision-making. The Senior Finance BI Analyst bridges the gap between Finance business needs and BI/data platforms such as Power BI and the underlying data warehouse, providing technical leadership and driving improvements in reporting, automation, data quality and governance. The role will also identify and enable opportunities to leverage AI, Generative AI and tools such as Microsoft Copilot to improve Finance analytics, reporting and productivity in a controlled and responsible manner.

You'll make an impact by: 

Data, Reporting & Dashboards

• Lead the design, development and ongoing enhancement of Finance dashboards and reports in Power BI to a high standard of accuracy, usability, performance and scalability. 
• Respond to ad hoc data, insight and analysis requests from Finance, proactively prioritising demand and managing the delivery pipeline based on business value, urgency and strategic priorities. 
• Identify, lead and implement automation opportunities across recurring Finance reporting to reduce manual effort and improve reliability, consistency and turnaround time. 
• Develop and optimise SQL queries against the data warehouse, including Redshift, to extract, transform and validate Finance datasets. 
• Establish and promote BI development standards, reusable components and best practices to improve consistency and maintainability across Finance reporting. 
• Provide technical guidance, peer review and mentoring to other BI analysts, supporting capability uplift across the team.

Insights & Analysis

• Perform variance, trend, cohort and driver-based analysis to explain financial performance and identify opportunities and risks.
• Translate complex data into clear narratives, visualisations and actionable recommendations tailored to Finance and senior leadership audiences.
• Support budgeting, forecasting and month-end processes with timely, accurate data and analytical inputs.
• Investigate reporting anomalies, conduct root-cause analysis and drive appropriate remediation and preventive actions, including resolution at the source where possible.
• Proactively identify emerging trends, risks and opportunities within Finance data rather than relying solely on stakeholder-driven requests.
• Partner with Finance leaders to translate commercial and financial questions into analytical approaches that support informed decision-making.

AI, Automation & Innovation

• Identify and evaluate opportunities to apply AI and Generative AI to Finance BI, reporting, analysis and operational processes.
• Use AI-enabled capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot and AI-assisted analytics, to improve productivity, insight generation, report development, documentation and analytical workflows.
• Develop and promote practical AI use cases that enable Finance stakeholders to interact with data more efficiently and support improved self-service analytics.
• Evaluate AI-generated analysis, code, insights and outputs for accuracy, financial relevance and reliability before they are incorporated into business reporting or decision-making.
• Ensure the use of AI within Finance BI complies with organisational requirements for data security, privacy, governance and responsible AI.
• Stay informed on emerging AI and analytics capabilities and assess their application to Finance reporting, automation and decision support.
• Support Finance teams in building AI literacy and adopting approved AI tools effectively and responsibly.

Data Quality & Governance

• Reconcile and validate data across source systems to ensure a single, trusted source of truth for Finance reporting.
• Maintain clear documentation of data definitions, business logic, metrics and report specifications.
• Apply data governance, security and access standards in line with organisational policy.
• Take ownership of complex data quality and reporting issues, working with Finance, data platform teams and source-system owners to resolve root causes rather than implementing ongoing reporting workarounds.
• Promote consistent definitions and calculation methodologies across Finance reporting and challenge inconsistencies where required.
• Ensure appropriate governance and validation controls are applied to AI-generated data, analysis and insights used within Finance BI.

Stakeholder Engagement & Leadership

• Build strong relationships with Finance, CoE and IT to understand requirements and deliver fit-for-purpose solutions.
• Act as a trusted BI and analytics adviser to Finance stakeholders, providing guidance on reporting, data, analytics, automation and AI opportunities.
• Facilitate requirements gathering, UAT and stakeholder sign-off for new and enhanced reporting.
• Lead discussions with senior Finance, technology and data stakeholders to resolve complex reporting, data quality and delivery issues.
• Challenge requirements constructively where alternative approaches provide greater business value, scalability or sustainability.
• Provide user support, training and guidance to help Finance stakeholders self-serve where appropriate.
• Mentor and support less-experienced analysts and contribute to the development of Finance BI capability and ways of working.
   

What you'll bring

• Significant experience in data, business intelligence or analytics roles, preferably supporting Finance, FP&A or a commercial function, with demonstrated experience operating at a senior level.
• Strong hands-on skills in Power BI, including data modelling, DAX and dashboard design, with experience designing scalable enterprise reporting solutions.

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex BI and analytics initiatives from requirements through development, validation, UAT and implementation.
• Experience identifying and implementing reporting automation and process improvement opportunities.
• Practical understanding of AI and Generative AI technologies and their application to BI, Finance analytics and business productivity, including tools such as Microsoft Copilot.
• Understanding of responsible AI principles, including data privacy, security, governance, validation and human oversight of AI-generated outputs.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to translate between Finance requirements and technical data/BI solutions.
• Ability to mentor other analysts, provide technical guidance and contribute to BI development standards and best practices.
