Proven experience in developing dashboards and reports in PowerBI or similar, ideally within a complex integration planning scenario.
Knowledge of planning processes and defence industry-specific knowledge is a plus.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential. Data sources are not highly complex, so detailed SQL knowledge is not considered essential. However the applicant will have the freedom to advise how more complex techniques could benefit the scenario.
