Gloucester City Council is looking for a talented Business Intelligence Officer to join our team and put data at the heart of how we plan, develop, and serve our city.

This is a varied and impactful role. You'll work closely with our Development and Town Planning teams, turning raw data into the dashboards, reports, and analyses that help leaders make confident, well-informed decisions.

From building Power BI visualisations to automating workflows with Power Automate, you'll have real scope to make your mark.

What you'll be doing

You'll gather and analyse data from a range of sources, identify trends, and deliver clear, actionable insights to stakeholders across the council. Day to day, that means designing and maintaining dashboards, producing regular and ad hoc reports, ensuring data quality through audits, and supporting colleagues to get more from the data around them. You'll also contribute to training, maintain our BI web presence, and help implement new tools and processes that keep us working efficiently.

What we're looking for

You'll be someone who loves working with data and communicating what it means. You'll bring:

• Proven experience with ETL processes and querying tools such as SQL and Oracle
• Strong skills in Power BI, advanced Excel, and Power Automate
• A track record of delivering accurate, insightful analysis and reporting
• The ability to explain complex findings clearly to non-technical audiences
• A keen eye for data quality and the rigour to maintain it
• NVQ Level 4 (or equivalent) in a relevant field, with GCSEs in Maths and English

A certification in data analysis or business intelligence — such as MOS Excel or SQL — would be a bonus.
