We are growing rapidly and as such we need a Power BI Specialist who is a legend at managing commercial reporting data and information to assist us with driving the commercial success of Petdirect, by taking our business intelligence capabilities to the next level.

The role would also prepare and maintain our standard (daily, weekly and monthly) business reporting, along with responding to ad-hoc reporting and analysis requests.
