VIQU have partnered with a large, values-driven organisation operating at national scale within the education sector. Supporting a wide and diverse network of institutions, they are on a multi-year journey to modernise how data underpins teaching, leadership, and strategic decision-making.

The organisation is investing heavily in its data and analytics capability, moving away from manual, fragmented reporting towards a modern, automated insight platform. With a clear focus on innovation, efficiency, and real-world impact, data is viewed as a strategic asset rather than a back-office function.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave, suited to an experienced Power BI Analyst who enjoys autonomy, stakeholder engagement, and owning reporting solutions end-to-end.

You’ll play a key role in delivering trusted reporting to senior leaders and operational teams, while contributing to the rollout of a new enterprise analytics platform. The role also offers exposure to forward-thinking work around predictive insight and responsible AI, helping shape how data is used across a complex, multi-site organisation.
