About the role
We’re looking for a Reporting Services Team Lead to lead our team of Reporting Services Developers supporting the iSAMS and Ed education software products.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with experience across SSRS, SQL/T-SQL, Power BI and reporting, who also has experience leading, mentoring or developing others.
You’ll lead a team of around seven developers across the UK and India, providing technical direction, managing priorities and helping your team deliver accurate, reliable reporting solutions for our customers.
🧾 Why This Role Matters
Schools rely on data to understand what is happening across their organisations and make informed decisions.
Our Reporting Services team turns that data into useful reports and insights for customers using iSAMS and Ed.
As Team Lead, you’ll make sure those reporting solutions are accurate, consistent and useful, while helping us improve our reporting technology, processes and ways of working.
👥 About the Team You’ll Join
You’ll lead around seven Reporting Services Developers across the UK and India, working with technologies including:
•
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
•
SQL / T-SQL
•
Power BI
•
Our in-house Report Designer
You’ll also work closely with colleagues across Product Management, Engineering and Customer Success to understand requirements and agree reporting priorities.
Responsibilities
📊 What You’ll Be Doing
As Reporting Services Team Lead, you’ll:
•
Lead, support and develop the Reporting Services team, setting clear objectives and helping people grow.
•
Manage workloads, priorities and delivery timelines.
•
Oversee the design and delivery of reports and analytics solutions across iSAMS and Ed.
•
Set and maintain technical standards across SSRS, SQL, Power BI and reporting development.
•
Provide technical guidance around SQL/T-SQL, report development, data modelling and troubleshooting.
•
Act as an escalation point for complex reporting, data and customer issues.
•
Work with Product Management and other stakeholders to understand requirements and agree priorities.
•
Make sure reporting solutions are accurate, consistent and delivered to a high standard.
•
Identify and lead improvements to our reporting tools, processes and ways of working.
•
Encourage knowledge sharing and continuous development across the team.
•
Represent Reporting Services in stakeholder meetings and wider business initiatives.
