Business Intelligence Developer (Power BI)

We’re partnering with an established international services organisation with a multi-country operating model and a developing data and reporting capability. This permanent, flexible-hybrid opportunity is based in Cape Town and sits at the intersection of Power BI development, data modelling, business requirements and stakeholder engagement.

1. Deliver reliable Power BI reports and dashboards that answer agreed finance, leadership, customer and operational questions.
2. Translate business requirements into clear semantic models, measures, definitions, visualisations and documented decisions.
3. Build reusable dimensions, hierarchies and common measures that reduce duplicated reporting logic across countries and companies.
4. Investigate discrepancies and unexpected results through the relevant source, transformation, curated-data, semantic-model and report layers, then recommend corrective action.
5. Support governed self-service BI through maintainable models, appropriate access controls, Row-Level Security and accessible documentation.
6. Improve reporting usability and maintainability by simplifying, standardising or consolidating solutions where this creates better outcomes.

• Demonstrated hands-on Power BI development experience, including DAX and Power Query.
• Strong understanding of semantic and dimensional modelling, including star-schema principles, shared dimensions and reusable measures.
• Good SQL capability and evidence of independently querying, investigating and validating data.
• Experience translating business requirements into practical reporting solutions and explaining findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong attention to accuracy, performance, usability and maintainability.
• Comfortable working with unfamiliar systems, datasets, business processes and stakeholders across countries or functions.
• Finance, management or leadership reporting experience is strongly beneficial.
• A completed relevant bachelor’s degree and approximately 3–5 years of relevant experience are preferred.
• Microsoft Fabric, layered data architectures, Lakehouse, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Row-Level Security, enterprise semantic models and governed self-service BI are beneficial exposure areas.
