Job description

We are seeking a Lead Power BI/Analytics Development Director/Manager to guide a growing analytics team through rapid transformation and increased delivery demand.

This role suits a former hands-on developer turned technical leader who can drive best practices, delivery, and team enablement. You'll help bring structure and consistency while supporting high-impact, enterprise initiatives.

While not a traditional people management role, it carries strong influence over delivery quality, development standards, and cross-functional alignment.

Requirements

  • Hands-on Power BI and analytics/reporting development
  • Leading or mentoring development teams
  • Strong SQL skills for querying, transformation, and validation
  • Solid understanding of SDLC and development best practices
  • Expertise in data modeling and database design (star schema, fact/dimension tables, relationships, keys)
  • Experience building reusable semantic layers and data models
  • Knowledge of BI governance, KPI standardization, and data quality practices
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics (CRM)
  • Exposure to Salesforce-to-Dynamics migrations
  • Experience with Databricks or similar platforms
  • Knowledge of data pipeline scalability and performance optimization
