- Build dashboards and data pipelines using Power BI and Python.
- Work with business teams to map processes and identify automation opportunities.
- Own automation projects from requirements and development through to testing, deployment and user training.
- Support colleagues as recent systems and automated processes are introduced.
- Ensure solutions are secure, reliable, scalable and clearly documented.
