- Apply LLM-assisted development (e.g. AI copilots, prompt-driven analytics, SQL generation, insight summarisation) to speed up BI delivery.
- Experiment with and implement AI-powered analytics use cases, such as:
- Automated insights and anomaly detection
- Natural-language-to-SQL / BI exploration
- AI-assisted forecasting and trend analysis (in collaboration with data science teams)
- Continuously improve BI productivity through tooling, templates, reusable components, and automation.
Best Practices & Technical Leadership
- Establish and enforce BI standards, naming conventions, performance guidelines, and data modelling best practices.
- Review and optimise existing BI solutions for scalability and cost efficiency.
- Mentor junior BI developers and interns, sharing modern BI and AI-enabled development practices.
