Job Description:

Technical Lead – Power BI – SC Cleared

We’re standing up a brand-new enterprise reporting solution within a large-scale government programme and we need a hands-on Technical Lead (Lead Data Engineer) to shape the technical design from day one.

This role goes beyond standard dashboarding. You’ll define the end-to-end data architecture (sourcing, ETL, orchestration, data modelling) that underpins critical KPIs for monitoring performance across multiple services. Your design will directly inform how senior leaders track and improve delivery at scale.

You’ll be working closely with architects, product teams, and business analysts leading a small, focused team (BA, Power BI Analyst, Delivery Manager) to turn complex, cross-departmental data into actionable insight.

What you’ll be doing

  • Define the high-level technical design for a new KPI reporting solution.
  • Architect the full data pipeline: sourcing, ETL/ELT, database layer, orchestration, and models.
  • Guide the Power BI build and integration, ensuring performance and governance are baked in.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to align technical and business goals.
  • Lay the groundwork for Phase 2 detailed design and delivery.

What we’re looking for

  • Active SC Clearance (essential)
  • Proven experience as a Lead Data Engineer / Technical Architect in complex government or regulated environments.
  • Strong background in Power BI, data modelling, and dashboard optimisation.
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS (Athena/Redshift advantageous).
  • Excellent stakeholder management – able to influence, challenge, and guide non-technical colleagues.

Why this role?

This is a chance to own the blueprint for a strategically critical reporting solution, working at the intersection of data, governance, and mission delivery. If you’re someone who thrives on designing scalable solutions, simplifying complexity, and ensuring data drives real-world outcomes, this is the role for you.
