Job Description:
Our client is seeking a hands-on BI & Reporting Lead / Developer to help evaluate, stabilize, and modernize a reporting environment that is currently largely on-premises and built on a number of legacy technologies. This is a highly technical, individual-contributor-oriented role with the opportunity to take ownership of the reporting environment and play a key role in its modernization and transition to the cloud.The ideal candidate will bring strong Tableau development and administration experience, advanced SQL capabilities, and a solid understanding of ETL and data environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the existing Tableau environment, including development, administration, integration, and ongoing support.
• Evaluate the current BI and reporting environment, identify gaps and opportunities, and develop a roadmap for modernization.
• Design and build custom reports and dashboards in Tableau based on business requirements.
• Develop and maintain SQL-based data repositories and data structures to support reporting needs.

• Assess and QA new data feeds, including data received from large retail customers.
• Partner with business users to understand reporting requirements, define use cases, and translate needs into effective reporting solutions.
• Develop and execute test plans to validate data, reports, and integrations.
• Coordinate with users through testing and implementation of new reports and reporting capabilities.
• Help modernize an inherited reporting environment following a divestiture, determining what should be retained, improved, replaced, or migrated.
• Support the transition from an on-premises reporting environment to a cloud-based environment, helping define the appropriate future-state architecture and approach.
• Balance hands-on development with technical leadership, depending on the candidate's level and experience.

• Tableau development and administration
• SQL / SQL databases
• ETL / SSIS

• Experience working directly with business users and coordinating reporting requirements and testing.
• Cloud experience, ideally with experience helping move reporting/data environments from on-premises to the cloud.

Opportunity

This is an opportunity to step into an environment where there is significant room for improvement and modernization.

The role is expected to begin with an immediate focus on reporting and stabilization, followed by broader modernization efforts as the organization moves toward a more cloud-based BI and reporting environment.
