Analytics Platform Specialist
Basic-Fit is Europe’s largest low-cost fitness chain, with 5+ million members and over 1,500 clubs. The Data Platform Team sits at the centre of our data-driven operations, supporting Finance, Marketing, Operations, and Leadership with reliable, well-governed data.
As an Analytics Platform Specialist, you own the standards, governance, and enablement layer of our Power BI environment. This is a role for someone who takes pride in getting the platform right: not just functional, but scalable, consistent, and trusted across the organisation.
Where you can make an impact
This is not a reporting role. The Analytics Platform Specialist actively shapes:
How Power BI is used and governed across the organisation
The visual standards and storytelling guidelines teams rely on
The semantic models and shared metrics that underpin business decisions
The self-service capabilities that allow teams to work independently from the central data team
How AI features in Power BI are evaluated and adopted
If something does not work well today, the expectation is to improve it — not work around it.
Responsibilities
Platform Governance
Define and enforce Power BI standards across data models, naming conventions, visuals, refresh strategies, and access management
Own and maintain the semantic layer and shared business metrics used across departments
Manage workspaces, row-level security, and platform costs in collaboration with governance and engineering teams
Evaluate and adopt new Power BI capabilities, including Fabric, Premium, and AI features such as Copilot and smart narratives
Visualization Standards
Establish and maintain company-wide guidelines for dashboard design, layout, and data storytelling
Review and improve shared dashboards to ensure clarity, consistency, and performance across teams
Identify and implement best practices that help stakeholders move from data to actionable decisions
Stakeholder Enablement
Enable self-service analytics by developing templates, guidelines, and reusable components for use across the business
Deliver training and documentation that reduces reliance on the central data team for routine reporting needs
Act as the primary point of contact for Power BI questions, supporting both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Identify gaps in self-service adoption and introduce appropriate guardrails where needed
The team
You will join a multidisciplinary Data Platform Team working alongside Data Engineers, Analysts, BI Developers, and Data Scientists. The team supports nearly every department at Basic-Fit and operates with a strong bias towards collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement.
What we are looking for
Proven, hands-on Power BI expertise — including DAX, semantic modeling, Power BI Service, and performance optimization
Strong understanding of data modeling — facts, dimensions, measures, and how they translate into BI layers
Experience governing a Power BI environment: workspaces, access management, row-level security, and refresh management
Demonstrated ability to enable and upskill others through documentation, templates, or structured training
Strong communicator, able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
Familiarity with Databricks, SQL, Power BI Fabric/Premium, or AI features within Power BI is advantageous but not required.
