Description

The Opportunity Footasylum is a leading UK-based retailer specialising in streetwear and sportswear, committed to delivering innovative and trend-setting products to our customers, with a strong focus on digital transformation and data-driven decision-making. We're looking for a Senior Business Intelligence Developer to join our Data team. The role supports all teams across Footasylum, ranging from Stores and Merch to Profit Protection and the Warehouse. We also maintain several datasets on Power BI which are used by the business via connections to Excel sheets to allow for detailed ad hoc analysis. Having recently migrated our Data tech stack at Footasylum onto Azure Databricks and Power BI from SQL Server and SSRS, we have a large suite of reports which surface the data that the business needs to answer their key questions. The Team The data team is an enabling team and as such it is important to note that we are a key function for all other teams across the business. We consist of two teams - Business Intelligence Developers and Data Engineering - who work closely alongside each other from end to end. We design solutions together and share best practice. Within the teams we recognise individual skillsets and encourage knowledge sharing sessions and self-development. What you will do You will design reports to allow users to be confident in their findings and to make business decisions based on data driven insights. You will identify and fix bugs within existing reports and communicate the impact to results. You will work alongside the Data Engineering team to identify bugs and provide requirements for views and tables in the data warehouse. You will support the Data Analyst role in providing guidance on data sources, process and technical design solutions. You will support the Principal BI Developer & Data Enablement Manager in planning and prioritising the work to be completed each sprint. You will perform regular health checks on the Power BI service and identify improvements to be made each month. You will reduce CPU on large datasets and reports to improve user experience. You will identify opportunities to automate manual business reporting, plan and co-ordinate as mini projects. You will work proactively with product and business teams to identify important questions and help them answer these with data, delivering an insight service to the business through fit for purpose solution. About you We are looking for a driven individual who has a keen eye for detail and strives to ensure that they produce accurate information through visually appealing reporting. You will be comfortable liaising with technical teams to understand how business processes reflect in the data produced and are able to relay this back to senior stakeholders at executive level in business terminology.

We are one of the leading omni-channel retailers across the UK, but more than that we are a brilliant place to work. We value you and your development. We have loads of examples of people moving upwards, across to other departments and given training to excel their personal and professional skills. Our aim is to create a fun environment, where your success is paramount to ours and you are given the right tools, support and platform to achieve your goals. Diversity We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are building services to customers and the wider business. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences and backgrounds. Recruitment Process We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we'll invite you for a call or Teams video for an informal chat about the role, and to see if we're a good fit for you. We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you and why you feel that this is the opportunity for you. Please note, this is not a remote role, and our expectation is that you will be able to attend Head Office in a hybrid way, in Greater Manchester. •
