  • Advanced Power BI development skills
  • Solid understanding of SQL and database concepts

  • Experience improving and optimising data quality across multiple systems
  • Knowledge of data protection and cybersecurity best practices

It's highly desirable , you have Microsoft Fabric experience, Dynamics 365 CE exposure with wider Microsoft Power Platform experience , experience with Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and experience migrating or modernising reporting environments

If you’re a practical, hands-on data professional looking for a varied contract role within a modern Microsoft environment, we’d love to hear from you.
