Job Summary

Are you ready to lead Ocean reporting while remaining close to the solutions that turn data into better decisions?

We re looking for a Reporting Lead to join our centralized reporting team. In this role, you will functionally own this reporting portfolio, lead and develop reporting professionals, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, sustainable reporting solutions for the relevant business stakeholders.

About the Role

As Reporting Lead for Ocean, you will be accountable for the direction, quality, governance, and delivery of the reporting portfolio. You will translate business priorities into a clear reporting roadmap, align stakeholders, manage demand, and coordinate delivery across the team. You will lead team members through direct leadership, set standards, remove delivery obstacles, and build capability through coaching and hands-on guidance. The role is also expected to retain the technical depth of a Senior Reporting Analyst: you must be able to independently design, develop, troubleshoot, and improve advanced Power BI and Excel solutions when priorities, complexity, or capacity require it.

• Foster collaboration across reporting, data, finance, and business teams while promoting constructive challenge and continuous improvement.

Hands-On Report Development

• Personally design and deliver advanced Power BI dashboards, semantic models, and Excel-based reporting solutions when required.
• Own complex developments end to end, from requirements and solution design through data modelling, development, testing, deployment, documentation, and continuous improvement.
• Write and optimize SQL queries and stored procedures for complex transformations, and use Python where appropriate to automate reporting processes or support advanced analytics.
• Review and troubleshoot solutions developed by others, ensuring sound design, maintainability, performance, and a consistent user experience.

Technology and Innovation

• Utilize Databricks, Dremio, and other platforms to build custom queries and reporting logic that strengthen reporting solutions.
• Develop standardized templates and reusable components to scale reporting.
• Introduce and champion new technologies to improve efficiency and scalability.

Automation, AI and Maintenance Support

• Support automation of recurring reporting tasks and refresh processes.
• Proactively identify opportunities to optimize reporting and reduce manual effort.
• Ensure all deliverables comply with documentation and governance standards.
• Identify and implement AI-enabled solutions to improve reporting efficiency, report development productivity, data validation, and user self-service capabilities.

What We Re Looking For

• Proven experience functionally owning a reporting, BI, or analytics scope comparable to Ocean reporting including roadmap management, demand prioritization, stakeholder alignment, governance, and delivery accountability.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and develop a team directly or indirectly, with experience setting priorities, delegating work, coaching colleagues, and maintaining accountability for outcomes.
• Advanced hands-on expertise in Power BI, Excel, Power Query (M), and DAX, including the design of scalable semantic models and enterprise reporting solutions.

• Solid knowledge of financial statements, variance analysis, and budgeting and forecasting processes.
• Comfort working in an Agile environment and managing work through tools such as Jira.
• Champion the adoption of AI and emerging technologies across the reporting function, driving productivity improvements, process simplification, automation, and enhanced stakeholder experiences.
