• Experience of delivering solutions internationally
• Keen to learn new technologies, especially in BI

It is desirable if you have:

• Experience of working with Microsoft’s BI technology stack SSIS, SSRS and/or SSAS (tabular and multidimensional models)
• Experience working with BI presentation tools (e.g. Excel, Power Pivot, Power View and Power BI)
• Experience working with BI reporting in SharePoint
• Experience of working within an agile project delivery environment and with offshore project team members
• Experience working with JIRA

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package.

We are working towards three breakthroughs in how the world treats children by 2030:

No child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday
All children learn from a quality basic education and that,
Violence against children is no longer tolerated

We know that great people make a great organization, and that our employees play a crucial role in helping us achieve our ambitions for children. We value our people and offer a meaningful and rewarding career, along with a collaborative and inclusive workplace where ambition, creativity, and integrity are highly valued.
