Implement strong engineering practices, including version control, CI/CD, testing, documentation, and support for production BI assets.
Partner effectively with business stakeholders, data engineers, data scientists, and technology teams to define requirements, deliver solutions, and drive adoption.
Success in this role:
Improve the performance, scalability, and usability of enterprise BI solutions.
Increase adoption of governed semantic models and self-service analytics.
Reduce data inconsistencies across reports through strong modeling and governance practices.
Enable business users with intuitive, Copilot-enabled analytics experiences built on trusted data.
Help elevate BI engineering standards across the team through strong technical execution and collaboration.
