Senior Data and Reporting Analyst

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.
