This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Business Intelligence Architect based in United States.
As a Business Intelligence Architect, you will lead a major data warehouse and reporting transformation for a financial institution, bridging a legacy Microsoft-based environment with a modern cloud data platform.

- Maintain and support the existing SQL Server-based data warehouse, ETL pipelines, reporting environment, and operational data processes throughout the migration.
- Design, implement, and maintain data models using established data modeling methodologies and tools.
- Develop and document ETL workflows using SSIS, PowerShell, T-SQL, and related Microsoft technologies.
- Design target-state Snowflake data models that accurately translate existing schemas and relationships while identifying opportunities for improvement.
- Re-engineer legacy SSIS workflows into modern Snowflake-based ingestion and transformation pipelines.
- Rebuild SSRS reports and dashboards as Sigma workbooks and reports, validating data, logic, outputs, and accuracy against legacy solutions.
- Create and maintain reporting solutions that provide timely and accurate information for business and management decision-making.
- Develop clear source-to-target mappings covering SQL Server-to-Snowflake data integration and SSRS-to-Sigma reporting transformations.
- Plan and coordinate migration phases, cutovers, and parallel-run validation to minimize disruption to ongoing reporting and data operations.
- Identify data inconsistencies, anomalies, performance issues, and scripting problems, recommending and implementing improvements.
- Participate in requirements gathering, technical peer reviews, troubleshooting, application development, and cross-functional project activities.
- Communicate migration progress, technical decisions, risks, and potential system issues clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Track and resolve end-user issues while providing timely project and operational support.
- Support scheduled off-hours upgrades or migration activities when required and maintain compliance with applicable banking and regulatory standards.

- Strong documentation skills, including the ability to create clear source-to-target mappings, migration plans, and technical materials.
- Excellent time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to balance legacy support, migration activities, and multiple project schedules.
- Self-motivated and accountable, with the initiative to stay current with modern analytics, cloud data warehousing, BI technologies, and industry trends.
- Comfortable working independently in a remote-first environment while proactively collaborating with distributed teams and participating actively in virtual meetings.
