Key Responsibilities and Skills

What You'll Do
 

The Centre of Excellence (COE) is the driving force behind SmartPA, where strategy comes to life. As part of this dynamic, client-facing department, you'll be the heartbeat of our business – delivering high-impact, tailored support to a key client account daily. 

In the role of Business Support Executive, you'll play a pivotal role in providing bespoke solutions to a variety of stakeholders. You'll tackle real challenges, establish meaningful relationships and make a tangible difference to client success.

This particular role is assigned to one of our 'dedicated' clients, meaning you will be representing our brand, whilst working very closely with a global tech giant. 

A specialist role for an expert who can transform raw data into clear, actionable, and visually compelling insights.

What Your Day Will Look Like

  • Design, build, and maintain interactive data dashboards and reports using tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Looker Studio.

  • Work closely with data analysts and business leaders to understand their key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting needs.

  • Apply principles of data visualisation to ensure all charts, graphs, and layouts accurately and effectively communicate the underlying data story.

  • Standardise data definitions and reporting metrics to ensure consistency across all business units.

  • Conduct data quality checks and troubleshooting on dashboards to ensure accuracy and smooth performance.

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining a high level of quality under tight deadlines.



Skills

About You 

You are a detail-oriented specialist with a keen artistic eye who sees data visualisation as both a science and an art. You are passionate about making data accessible and understandable to non-technical users, and you know that a beautiful dashboard is useless if the underlying data is flawed.

Experience

What You'll Need

Your experience is key but your attitude is what sets you apart.

Essential:

  • Expert proficiency in at least one major data visualisation tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker Studio).

  • Strong understanding of relational databases and experience querying data using SQL.

  • A demonstrable portfolio of high-quality dashboards that showcase visual excellence and analytical clarity.

  • Excellent communication skills to articulate the story behind the data to a diverse audience.

Desirable:

  • Experience with statistical programming languages (e.g., Python, R) for data cleaning/preparation.

  • Formal training or a degree in Data Science, Statistics, or a related field.

  • Experience with advanced dashboard features like calculated fields, parameters, and complex filters.
