Analytics Platform Specialist

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.

What we offer

• Ownership — direct influence over how data is consumed and trusted across the organisation

• Development — access to LinkedIn Learning and ongoing growth opportunities

• Autonomy — the space to identify problems and improve how things work

• Culture — informal, international, and collaborative working environment

• Fitness — free access to a brand-new Basic-Fit gym, 3 minutes from the office

About Basic-Fit

Basic-Fit operates across Europe with a clear mission: make fitness accessible to everyone. We move fast, invest in our people, and continuously improve — including our data infrastructure.

• Collaboration over hierarchy

• Pragmatism over process

• Inclusive and diverse by design

• Built with and for our members and colleagues
