Job title:

Power BI & Agile QA analyst

Company

Verve

Job description

About the roleAs our platform and data needs to grow, we’re looking for a versatile analyst to join the team. We’d love someone who’s just as comfortable building slick Power BI dashboards as they are writing user stories or running QA checks. This is a hybrid role combining business intelligence, business analysis, and quality assurance. Perfect for someone who enjoys variety! Here’s some of what you can look forward to in this hybrid role:

• Build interactive, insightful Power BI dashboards for both internal users and external partners.
• Analyse the data and create reports which will help teams make data-led decisions.
• Work with the product owner to translate business ideas and conversations into clear user stories and requirements for dev team.
• Support our quality assurance process, making sure releases are bug free and data is accurate.
• Alongside the product owner, collaborate closely with developers, key stakeholders and operations to bring ideas to life.

We use a range of tools and technologies to get the job done. You don’t need to know them all, but here’s an idea of what you’ll get to work with:

• Power BI – building dashboards and reports
• SQL – extracting, cleaning and validating data
• Jira – for user story creation and task management
• Manual QA – running test cases, validating features and squashing bugs!
• APIs – checking data flows between systems

About youThis isn’t a pure data role or a pure QA role, it’s hybrid, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys dipping into both worlds. You’ll need to be able to understand how data flows, how products get built and what makes a good user experience.

• 1-2 years of experience in a relevant analyst or BI role.
• Solid Power BI experience allowing you to confidently take ownership of our business’s data modelling.
• Ability to write clear, structured user stories with acceptance criteria.
• Comfortable testing features, raising bugs and helping ensure quality.
• A proactive communicator who loves being part of a small, collaborative team.
• Happy working in an Agile-ish environment with flexibility and fast iteration.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience working closely with developers or product managers
• Any exposure to Agile practices
• An eye for good data design, both in reports and data models
• A background in operations, business analysis or support roles where accuracy matters.
