This role works directly with business teams to build Power BI dashboards, define meaningful KPIs, uncover insights, and identify practical BI/AI opportunities that improve performance across Finance, Inventory, Operations, and other priority areas. The analyst uses governed Gold-layer datasets prepared by the technical BI/Data team and focuses on reporting, insight generation, adoption, and business value. This is a business-facing role, not a heavy data engineering or advanced machine learning development role. 

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with business users: Work with SMEs to validate requirements, confirm data accuracy, interpret results, and ensure reports answer real business needs. 

• Strengthen KPI governance: Document metric definitions, assumptions, calculation logic, data sources, business rules, and usage guidance. 

• Support prioritization: Provide input to the Data Product Owner on reporting needs, dataset requests, AI use cases, business impact, adoption risks, and dependencies. 

• Drive adoption: Provide training, coaching, documentation, and follow-up support so users can confidently use dashboards and self-service analytics. 

• Measure value: Track dashboard usage, user feedback, data quality concerns, adoption levels, and business value where measurable. 

• Identify AI opportunities: Help business teams frame practical AI opportunities such as forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, automation, Copilot-enabled analytics, and decision support. 

• Collaborate with technical teams: Work with BI/Data Developers, data owners, and IT to confirm dataset readiness, data quality issues, semantic model needs, and reporting constraints. 

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics, Data Analytics, Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Finance, Operations Management, or a related field. 

• 3–7 years of experience in business intelligence, reporting, analytics, business analysis, or data-driven business support. 

• Strong hands-on Power BI experience, including dashboard design, data visualization, usability, DAX basics, and report development. 

• Working knowledge of SQL and structured datasets, with the ability to explore, validate, interpret, and explain business data. 

• Experience gathering business requirements and converting them into KPIs, dashboards, analytical outputs, and recommendations. 

• Ability to define and document business metrics, reporting assumptions, data definitions, and performance management outputs. 

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain insights clearly to business users, technical teams, and leadership audiences. 

• Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with SMEs, Data Product Owners, BI/Data Developers, IT, and non-technical stakeholders. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience in aviation, MRO, engineering, operations, finance, inventory management, supply chain, or another regulated operational environment. 

• Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric, Lakehouse/Warehouse concepts, semantic models, Gold-layer datasets, or governed reporting environments. 

• Knowledge of ERP, MRO, or enterprise systems such as Ramco, SAP, IFS, AMOS, Oracle, UKG, or HCL Notes. 

• Exposure to AI opportunity identification, forecasting, optimization, automation, anomaly detection, or AI-assisted analytics.

• Experience supporting self-service analytics, data governance, reporting standards, data literacy, or user adoption initiatives. 

• Experience designing executive dashboards, scorecards, management reports, adoption metrics, or business value tracking reports.
