About Adroit Cloud Consulting

Adroit is an engineering-led consultancy working with enterprise and regulated organisations to design, build and scale secure cloud platforms, DevOps environments and data infrastructure. We don't place people and walk away — we embed alongside our clients' teams as long-term technical partners, bringing the same engineers back to solve the next problem once the first one's done.

The engagement

We're growing our Data & Analytics team to support a long-standing client: a global cross-commodity price reporting agency whose data, forecasts and market analyses give traders and risk managers a strategic edge in complex, often opaque markets.

You'll join their analytics function to build and maintain the dashboards and data models that turn commodity pricing, forecasting and policy data into decisions their customers can act on — spanning critical minerals, long-term battery raw material forecasts, and trade and tariff tracking.

What you'll be doing

  • Bullet pointDesigning, building and maintaining Power BI dashboards and reports that translate complex commodity, pricing and forecasting datasets into clear, actionable insights.
  • Bullet pointWriting efficient DAX measures and calculated columns to support sophisticated analysis at scale.
  • Bullet pointBuilding and maintaining data models that integrate cleanly with Snowflake and other upstream data sources.
  • Bullet pointWorking closely with data engineers and analysts to source, clean and shape data ahead of reporting.
  • Bullet pointOptimising report performance so dashboards stay fast and usable as datasets and user numbers grow.
  • Bullet pointEnsuring data accuracy, consistency and security across every report you ship.
  • Bullet pointSupporting end users directly — explaining what a dashboard shows, adjusting it as requirements evolve, and being a visible, responsive point of contact rather than someone who disappears after handover.
  • Bullet pointWorking across live analytics products, including a critical minerals database, a long-term forecasting module, and a policy tracking tool — each with its own data model and its own audience.

What we're looking for

  • Bullet pointStrong hands-on experience building Power BI dashboards and reports in a live, evolving business environment.
  • Bullet pointSolid DAX and data modelling skills — you're comfortable going beyond drag-and-drop to solve genuinely tricky calculation and performance problems.
  • Bullet pointWorking knowledge of Snowflake, or strong transferable experience with a cloud data warehouse.
  • Bullet pointConfident SQL for data extraction, shaping and troubleshooting.
  • Bullet pointA genuinely can-do, problem-solving mindset. Things will break, requirements will shift, and priorities will move around you — we need someone who meets that with curiosity and a level head, not stress.
  • Bullet pointComfortable working directly with non-technical stakeholders, translating "what we need to know" into "what we should build".
  • Bullet pointResilient under a reasonable degree of ambiguity and pace — this is fast-moving, real-world commercial analytics, not a static reporting function.

Nice to have

  • Bullet pointExperience with Power Query, Microsoft Fabric, or Azure data services.
  • Bullet pointExposure to commodities, trading, pricing or financial data.
  • Bullet pointMicrosoft PL-300 (Power BI Data Analyst Associate) certification.

How we work

You'll be engaged as a Ltd company contractor working alongside Adroit's own engineers and the client's internal analytics team — not dropped in alone. Adroit stays involved throughout the engagement: we want you supported, and we want the client to see the same steady, can-do delivery that's at the core of how we work.

Sound like you?

If you want to build analytics that real traders and risk managers rely on, and you'd rather solve the problem in front of you than get overwhelmed by it, we'd like to hear from you.
