A large, multi-site UK & Ireland services organisation is creating a brand new, business facing leadership role to fix fragmented reporting and build a centralised reporting and insights capability from scratch. They’re mid-way through a major cloud data platform (Microsoft Fabric) rollout and want this hire shaping its reporting and governance structure from here on.
About the Role:
- Own enterprise reporting strategy and standards across the business (excluding finance).
- Move reporting from fragmented and reactive to standardised, trusted, and insight-led – with a path toward predictive/AI-driven insights.
- Define common KPIs, data definitions, and governance; tackle current data access/security gaps.
- Be the single point of accountability for reporting demand and prioritisation.
- Build and lead a reporting/analytics team (currently none exists).
- Present insights directly to senior leadership and exec forums.
About the Person:
- Track record operating at Head of / senior leadership level in reporting, BI, analytics, or performance management.
- Demonstrated success owning enterprise-wide reporting strategy and driving standardisation across a large, complex organisation.
- Credible and influential at C-suite and board level, with a track record of shaping how a business makes decisions.
- Bonus: multi-site/regulated experience, Power BI/Fabric/Databricks exposure, data lake/platform transformation leadership.
- An outsider’s perspective is welcome – they want someone to challenge how things are done.
