Let’s fuse creativity with technology together and build innovative solutions that actively change things for the better.

We are looking for a hands‑on technical leader to define, build, and scale our Data Visualization Practice. You will serve as the “Player‑Coach” for the unit: defining the Go‑To‑Market strategy and winning new business, while simultaneously acting as the Chief Architect who defines the engineering standards for the team. You will lead the transition to code‑first BI (TMDL, Git) while ensuring our solutions integrate seamlessly with any modern data platform (Fabric, Databricks, Big
Query, Snowflake, etc. ).

• Practice Strategy & Commercial Support
  • Go‑to‑Market Strategy: Support the definition and execution of the practice roadmap, service offerings, and sales strategy.
  • Pre‑Sales Support & Solutioning: Partner with the Pre
    Sales and Sales teams to support technical pre‑sales, design solution architectures, and scope proposals (SOWs) for clients.
• Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and lead a team of BI Architects and Analysts, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Technical Architecture & Engineering Standards
  • Modern BI Governance: Enforce use of TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language), Git‑based version control, and CI/CD pipelines to treat BI as a software engineering discipline.
  • Advanced Data Modeling: Enforce strict Dimensional Modeling (Kimball) standards across the team to ensure scalability and performance.
  • Source‑Agnostic Integration: Architect robust semantic models that consume data from diverse modern data platforms, including Databricks, Google Big
    Query, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric, with a strategy for Import vs. Direct
    Query vs. Composite Models to optimise performance over non‑native sources.
  • Quality Assurance: Act as lead technical reviewer for complex DAX, data models, and code merges, ensuring "pixel‑perfect" and performant delivery.
  • AI‑Augmented Development: Lead adoption of AI tools (Copilot in Fabric/Power BI) to accelerate DAX generation and documentation, tracking efficiency gains.
  • Visual Governance: Enforce the "Mockup‑First" methodology, ensuring no development begins without a signed‑off prototype from the UX/UI team.

• Power BI mastery: Expert‑level capability in DAX, Power Query (M), and calculation groups. Debug complex performance issues.
• Advanced SQL: Fluent in writing complex SQL queries across dialects (T‑SQL, Spark SQL, Big
  Query SQL, etc. ).
• Code‑First BI experience: Hands‑on experience with Tabular Editor, TMDL, and Git integration.
• Data Modeling: Deep expertise in Star Schema design and Kimball methodologies.

• Proven experience connecting BI tools to non‑Microsoft sources (e. g. Databricks Lakehouse, Google Big
  Query, AWS Redshift). Understand nuances of Direct Query vs. Import.

• Tableau: Experience designing and deploying Tableau solutions to support agnostic client requests.
• Python: Ability to use Python for light data engineering or scripting.
• dbt: Familiarity with dbt for transformation layers.

• Commercial Acumen: Experience in consulting pre‑sales, commercial modelling, and writing proposals.
• Communication: Translate technical complexity into clear business value for C‑Level stakeholders.

• Adoption: Successful rollout of the new "Code‑First" workflow across the team.
• Growth: Increase in practice revenue through successful pre‑sales and new client wins.
• Quality: Reduction in rework and increase in stakeholder satisfaction via the new "Mockup‑First" governance.
