FL Business Intelligence Manager

We’re looking for an experienced Business Intelligence Manager to provide full-time cover for a secondment period of six months for a big West London Broadcaster. This role is delivery-focused, keeping critical reporting, forecasting support and insight outputs running smoothly, improving quality and reducing manual effort where sensible. You’ll sit within the broadcasters Business Operations & Analytics team and work closely with Finance, Production and senior stakeholders across the business.

What you’ll deliver (6 month period)

• Monthly performance reporting delivered to agreed deadlines – pack build, commentary co-ordination, QA and clear narrative
• Forecasting support – help maintain alignment between business forecasting tools and Finance, tracking movements and key assumptions
• Stakeholder MI cadence – keep agreed decks and updates running with clear actions, ownership and governance
• Dashboards and datasets – maintain, fix breaks quickly, improve reliability and reduce rework
• Documentation and continuity – keep runbooks current and deliver a clean handover back at end of contract

What you’ll do

• Own day-to-day delivery of agreed reporting outputs – building, validating and communicating insight
• Manage priorities across BAU cycles and ad-hoc asks – flagging risks early and protecting deadlines
• Provide day-to-day direction to Junior Business Analysts where relevant – tasking, coaching and quality oversight (no formal line management)
• Identify small, high-impact improvements – simplification, automation, standardisation and better governance

What you'll bring:

Must have

• Strong BI delivery experience in a fast-paced environment
• Advanced Excel – confident building packs, models and controls (Power Query a plus)
• Confident stakeholder management – you can run a cadence, chase inputs and land messages with clarity
• Strong quality mindset – you spot issues, fix root causes and improve processes
• Finance literacy – comfortable around month-end rhythms, forecasting, budgets and variance narratives

Nice to have

• Power Platform experience – Power Automate, SharePoint Lists or similar (a huge plus)
• Solid SQL skills – comfortable using SQL Server / SSMS to query and validate data
• Strong Power BI or Tableau capability – you can build, maintain and improve dashboards
• Familiarity with SAP, Ariba, BusinessObjects or enterprise finance tools
• Experience in a creative, media or production-led business

Non-negotiables

• Need to be available Mon-Friday
• In the office Mon/Tue/Thu, WFH the other days
• Comfortable being hands-on (you will be building packs and doing QA, not delegating)
