Full Job Description
Responsibilities

Business Requirements and Solution Ownership
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand the business problem, decision, data, and analytical requirements before defining a solution.
  • Translate business needs into clear functional and technical requirements, including business rules, data definitions, transformation logic, workflows, and acceptance criteria.
  • Own assigned BI solutions from requirements and detailed design through development, validation, User Acceptance Testing, deployment support, and continuous improvement.
  • Challenge unclear or duplicative requirements and identify when an existing solution can be extended rather than creating new reporting.

BI Development and Data Modeling
  • Develop and maintain BI solutions using Power BI or similar tools, SQL, and sound data and semantic modeling practices.
  • Reuse and extend existing reports, governed datasets, semantic models, measures, and common definitions before introducing new report-specific logic where appropriate.
  • Contribute to solution architecture and detailed design in collaboration with senior BI developers and Data Engineering.
  • Document solutions sufficiently to support maintainability, knowledge transfer, and ongoing support.

Quality, Validation, and Support
  • Develop and document test scenarios and validate reports, dashboards, datasets, and business logic before release.
  • Prepare and accompany users through User Acceptance Testing and support adoption of delivered solutions.
  • Participate in incident and problem resolution, identify root causes, and propose sustainable solutions and action plans.
  • Apply a strong quality mindset to data accuracy, reliability, and solution performance.

Continuous Improvement and Self-Service
  • Identify and recommend opportunities to improve performance, automate repetitive work, reduce duplication, and simplify existing solutions.
  • Support and train application super users and contribute to progressively enabling governed self-service.
  • Share knowledge with colleagues and contribute to reusable practices, documentation, and team standards.
  • Proactively propose practical improvements rather than waiting for detailed direction.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • Accuracy and reliability of BI solutions and business logic.
  • On-time delivery of assigned BI solutions and quality of validation before release.
  • Reuse of existing governed datasets, semantic models, measures, and reporting capabilities where appropriate.
  • Reduction of recurring manual work, duplicate logic, and avoidable support issues.
  • Adoption and usability of delivered solutions by business stakeholders.
  • Quality of documentation, maintainability, and knowledge transfer.
  • Demonstrated growth in independent problem solving and solution ownership.


Qualifications
  • 4-5 years of experience working on business intelligence, analytics, or related data projects.
  • Experience translating business requirements into data flows, business rules, data dictionaries, functional specifications, and analytical solutions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Data Engineering, Analytics, Business Analysis, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Strong working knowledge of SQL and relational data concepts.
  • Practical experience with Power BI or a similar business intelligence platform.
  • Good knowledge of ETL/ELT principles, data modeling standards, and semantic modeling concepts.
  • Ability to understand business processes and translate requirements into maintainable analytical solutions.
  • Ability to validate data, troubleshoot issues systematically, and explain complex technical concepts to non-experts.
  • The role involves daily (or regular) communication with pan-Canadian stakeholders.

Preferred
  • Experience with cloud data platforms, version control, APIs, or modern BI development practices.
  • Experience supporting business users through training, UAT, and self-service analytics.
  • Experience improving or automating existing BI processes and solutions.
