    Job introduction:Do you have proven expertise in Data Analytics, with substantial experience in Power BI?
Do you enjoy creating worthwhile and engaging data visualisations, turning raw facts into compelling stories? Do you believe in the importance of self-service Data Analytics, of IT's role in enabling and empowering decision-makers to discover their own insights?

If so, join our dynamic team at Brighton & Hove City Council and be part of establishing a new era of Data Analytics


In addition to substantial experience in using Power BI to create reports, we are looking for an individual who can establish best-practice approaches for flexible and scalable reporting from complex data sources, advising others in building and maintaining dataflows and datasets.


This is a key role within the organisation and provides opportunities to significantly transform how the Council works with data to provide insight to all levels of the organisation.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real differencethis may be the opportunity for you.


About the role:


Tasks and responsibilities


Brighton & Hove City Council has selected Power BI as its data visualisation tool of choice, embarking on a journey to put data at the heart of our decision-making.

A key stage of that journey is our migration from legacy BI platforms.


Key responsibilities include:

  • Administrative management of Power BI, including workspaces, security, capacity management
  • Deliver migration from legacy BI platforms and increase adoption of Power BI
  • Customer support in the use of all components of the Power BI platform
  • Training for analysts in the use of Power BI
  • Facilitate and nurture user forums for the Data Analyst Community within the Council
  • Evaluate other components of the Analytics Toolkit
  • Manage delivery of highquality bespoke analysis
  • Demonstrate the art of the possible, delivering modern solutions to solve real business problems
Experience with more advanced analytical techniques and tools is desirable but not essential. Practical experience in other elements of Microsoft Fabric (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Lakehouses) would be advantageous.


Working at Brighton & Hove City Council
Working at the Council comes with numerous benefits, including flexible working options. IT & Digital teams are a diverse and truly international group.

You'll find us a very open and welcoming group of colleagues who encourage a respectful, supportive, and collaborative work ethic.


We completely endorse a flexible workplace, with our staff working full time, part-time, and compressed hours, to fit around care commitments and work life balance needs.

We support a flexible mix of home and office working, so you'll need experience of working and managing systems and people in this way.

We've found ways to keep connected and keep up some social contact with work colleagues through remote daily morning meetings and informal lunchtime virtual gatherings.

Our team develops its staff through internal and external training, and identifying and providing opportunities for development. For example, one of our digital team managers joined us as an apprentice from a non-IT background just over 5 years ago


Whilst working in the public sector comes with challenges, it can also be extremely satisfying to see our efforts benefit others.

We are proud of what we do.
