- Strong experience of emerging technologies and Business Intelligence (BI) software  
- Experience of the latest information management technology  
- Previous experience of rolling out visualisation solutions  
- Data governance and data quality management experience  
- Project management experience  

An IT and/or data related qualification would be beneficial, as would experience with Azure, AWS and SQL technologies.
