BI & Data Student Assistant

Do you enjoy using your analytics skills to turn data into insights? Would you like to gain hands-on experience with BI, data, and analytics while contributing to a meaningful cause? Join us in one of Denmark’s largest humanitarian NGOs and help make a difference for people in need around the world.

As our new student assistant, you’ll become a valued part of our journey towards becoming a more data-driven organisation. Working closely with experienced colleagues in the Data & Reporting team, you’ll help design and deliver Power BI dashboards and data solutions that support both daily operations and strategic decisions – across departments in Denmark and internationally.

We’re a friendly and curious team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a good laugh. You’ll be joining a broader IT & Digital Development department with skilled professionals in data, critical business systems, and IT operations – so there’s always someone to learn from.

What You’ll Be Doing (With Our Support Along the Way):

• Develop and deliver Power BI dashboards and reports that turn data into actionable insights for teams across the organization.
• Maintain and enhance existing BI solutions including updating semantic models, creating DAX measures, and helping manage Power BI Service tasks like access, workspaces, apps, and publishing reports 
• Support data quality and clarity by validating figures, tracing issues, and documenting reports and models
• Collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders to clarify reporting needs, solve problems, and contribute ideas to improve our data products and processes.

What You Bring (Or Are Motivated to Learn):

• A structured and analytical mindset with an eye for details, especially when solving problems or making sense of numbers that don’t quite add up
• An interest in data storytelling – explaining not just what the data shows, but why it matters
• Curiosity about how data flows from source to report, and a desire to understand the full picture of a data solution
• You’re someone who takes responsibility for your tasks and enjoys collaboration with stakeholders and being part of a team
• Experience with Power BI and semantic models is a bonus – but what really matters is your curiosity, willingness to learn, and ability to work with structured data and understand how changes in data setup can impact what’s shown in reports.

Don’t worry if you don’t meet every single point – if you're eager to learn and bring relevant or transferable skills from studies, projects, or other experiences, we’d still love to hear from you.
