Job Title: Reporting & Analysis Manager
Vacancies: 2

An excellent opportunity has arisen for two Reporting & Analysis Managers to join one of the UK's largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.

These positions sit within the wider programme reporting function, bringing together information from Project Controls, delivery teams and other functions to provide accurate, meaningful reporting across the programme.

There are two opportunities available within the team.

One has a greater emphasis on Project Controls, stakeholder management and coordinating reporting across delivery teams, while the other is more technically focused on Power BI, data analytics and the development of programme-wide reporting solutions.

For both positions, the focus is on ensuring complex programme information is accurate, well governed and transformed into reporting that enables effective decision-making.

Essential requirements

• Previous experience within reporting, Project Controls, PMO, programme/project management, business intelligence, data analytics or a closely related discipline.
• Experience working with complex information and producing reporting for different stakeholder groups.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience taking ownership of reporting processes, products or deliverables.
• Strong data literacy and the ability to interrogate information, identify anomalies and challenge where something does not look right.
• Experience improving reporting processes, governance or ways of working.
• Ability to coordinate multiple inputs and stakeholders against demanding deadlines.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and communicating complex information clearly.
• A good understanding of how data and reporting support effective programme or business decision-making.

For the more technically focused position, strong hands-on Power BI experience is essential, including the ability to develop and maintain reports and dashboards.

Nice to have

• Experience within Project Controls or a major project/programme environment.
• Major infrastructure, rail or construction experience.
• Previous client-side, consultancy or major contractor experience.
• Knowledge of Project Controls disciplines such as schedule, cost, risk, scope, change and performance.
• Advanced Power BI experience
• Microsoft Fabric experience.
• Team leadership or line management experience.
• Experience developing strategic or executive-level reporting.
• Experience using Excel and PowerPoint to communicate programme information.

The roles

The first position will work closely with major delivery areas, including stations and systems, coordinating reporting across multiple projects, contracts and stakeholders.

You will bring together programme, cost, schedule, physical progress, commercial and other information into integrated reporting, while providing assurance over the quality and completeness of the data being provided.

This role requires someone who can build strong relationships across Project Controls and delivery teams, manage competing reporting requirements and challenge information where something does not look right. You will also have the opportunity to improve processes, clarify responsibilities and make reporting more efficient.

The second position has a stronger Power BI and data analytics focus. You will work hands-on with data from central programme systems, developing and maintaining standardised Power BI reports and dashboards used across the wider programme.

Alongside the technical development of reporting, you will support data assurance, governance and process improvement, working with stakeholders to understand their requirements and translate these into effective reporting solutions.

These are excellent opportunities for reporting professionals who want to work at the heart of a nationally significant infrastructure programme.
