Overview

Are you a seasoned Power BI expert with a passion for driving impactful visualisations? We're on the lookout for a dynamic Power BI Development Lead to own and elevate our dashboard reporting capabilities. You'll set the standards for quality, consistency, and governance, acting as the go-to subject matter expert. Leading our BI strategy, architecture, and team of developers and analysts, you'll ensure our dashboards deliver clear, actionable insights that meet business needs with precision and confidence.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
