Role overview

Build reporting and data infrastructure for finance, people, and project decision-making at Rail Delivery Group.

Create data pipelines, a reliable reporting layer, and Power BI dashboards; provide analytical and automation support to Finance.

This is a hands-on role involving finance, data modelling, ETL, source integration, dashboard design, and stakeholder-facing insight.

Data infrastructure

  • Connect and consolidate data from NetSuite, Cascade, Smartsheet, and other operational sources.
  • Build reliable ETL pipelines and a central reporting layer with low ongoing maintenance.
  • Develop scalable data models, such as a star schema, for flexible reporting.
  • Set governance standards for naming, refresh schedules, version control, and documentation.
  • Troubleshoot source data quality with Finance Business Partner teams and introduce early checks.

Power BI reporting and dashboards

  • Build and maintain dashboards covering finance, people, and projects.
  • Support finance reporting on P&L, budgets versus actuals, cash flow, and cost centres.
  • Support people reporting on headcount, attrition, hiring, pay, and compa-ratio.
  • Support project reporting on status, resourcing, budget burn, and milestones.
  • Turn business questions into clear self-service visualisations; own DAX and data modelling.
  • Manage dashboard access controls, including row-level security where needed, and train users.

Finance analysis and collaboration

  • Support finance leaders with scenario modelling, automation, variance analysis, and business case work.
  • Respond to emerging data requests while prioritising the core infrastructure roadmap.
  • Work with Finance leadership, Finance Business Partners, data source owners, business users, and the Data Analytics team.

Essential experience and skills

  • Strong hands-on Power BI reporting and data modelling experience, including Power Query and DAX.
  • Experience integrating and structuring data from multiple source systems; solid SQL skills.
  • Comfort working with finance, HR, and project data and understanding their business logic.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication with non-technical users.
  • High attention to detail and a strong focus on data quality and governance.

Desirable experience

  • ETL or pipeline tools such as Power Automate, Azure Data Factory, or Dataflows.
  • Finance function experience, such as FP&A or management accounts.
  • Familiarity with Azure or cloud data platforms.
  • Experience establishing a reporting function from scratch.

Success measures

Reliable automated refreshes provide a single source of truth for finance, people, and project data.

Dashboards are trusted and used across the business, reducing manual reporting requests.

Ad hoc analytical requests are turned around promptly without compromising the core reporting build.

Benefits

  • Rail travel discounts, 30 days of annual leave, personal development days, and an interest-free season ticket loan.
  • Enhanced family leave, pension contribution up to 8.64%, private medical insurance, health cash plan, and flexible benefits.
  • Flexible working arrangements are available.
