Deliver executive-ready insights by designing intuitive experiences (navigation, tooltips, drill-through, bookmarks) that convert complex data into clear narratives.

Integrate and transform data from multiple upstream sources (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira, SAP, ServiceNow, Clarity PPM, SQL-based sources), ensuring consistency and reliability across reporting layers
Develop robust Power Query (M) transformations and dataflows, and configure gateways/refresh to meet business SLAs
Perform performance tuning across models and reports (cardinality management, aggregation patterns, DAX optimization) and troubleshoot refresh or dataset failures
Establish and maintain metric definitions and calculation logic to ensure alignment across teams and reduce ambiguity
Platform Integration, Deployment & Solution Ownership
Own the end-to-end reliability of the reporting ecosystem, integrating data across Smartsheet, Jira, SAP, ServiceNow, Clarity PPM, Power BI, and related platforms
Manage the Power BI delivery lifecycle (dev/test/prod practices, versioning, workspace and app management) and support governance including access controls and certified datasets where applicable
Skills & Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
7+ years of experience developing BI/reporting solutions, with significant hands-on Power BI development
Advanced expertise in Power BI, including DAX, semantic/data modeling, calculated tables, and performance optimization across large datasets
Experience with Power BI administration and delivery practices (workspaces, apps, refresh/gateways, access controls) as applicable
Strong Power Query (M) and SQL skills, including data transformation, reconciliation, and troubleshooting of data issues
Demonstrated experience integrating data across multiple systems (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira, SAP, ServiceNow, Clarity PPM, SQL-based sources, custom solutions)
Proven experience working with imperfect or inconsistent data, identifying root causes, and improving data quality across upstream systems
Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment with minimal direction
Systems-level thinker with the ability to understand and optimize end-to-end data flows across multiple platforms and tools
Strong judgment and problem-solving skills in ambiguous, evolving environments with incomplete or conflicting data
Ownership mindset with a track record of taking accountability for outcomes-not just deliverables
Ability to challenge assumptions, push back on unclear requirements, and drive alignment across stakeholders
Experience in delivering insights that influence strategic decisions
Proven ability to translate ambiguous business questions into structured data models, metrics, and insights
Experience with other data visualization tools and proven experience building solutions with agentic AI is preferred
Experience with other data visualization tools such as Tableau, Qlik, Looker, or advanced Excel visualization
Experience operationalizing AI-assisted analytics or copilots (e.g., prompt/design patterns, evaluation, monitoring, and responsible AI practices) is a plus
Proven experience in agentic AI (designing and deploying agentic workflows using LLMs and tools to autonomously plan, execute, and validate analytics tasks) with an emphasis on security, reliability, and human-in-the-loop controls
