Data Analyst Contractor Jobs in Dearborn, MI (NOW HIRING)

Altarum is seeking a Business Technology Analyst to help improve how our organization uses data, automation, and artificial intelligence to work more effectively.

In this role, you will partner with teams across Altarum to understand their needs and turn them into practical reporting, workflow, and technology solutions. You will build dashboards, automate repetitive processes, support SharePoint and Microsoft 365 solutions, and help identify responsible, high-value uses for AI.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with three to five years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, business systems, reporting, or process improvement who enjoys solving business problems and learning new tools. While this is not a traditional software development role, you should be comfortable working with data and technology, managing defined assignments independently, and translating technical concepts for nontechnical colleagues.

• The ability to analyze and validate data, investigate discrepancies, and clearly communicate findings.
• Experience gathering requirements and translating business needs into reports, workflows, or technology solutions.
• The ability to independently manage defined assignments or small projects from planning through delivery.
• Strong analytical, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to explain technical information clearly to nontechnical employees.
• Sound judgment when working with sensitive data and emerging technologies.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to independently learn and apply new tools.

These qualifications are helpful but not required:

• Experience with Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint, or another low-code platform.
• Hands-on experience using generative AI for analysis, research, documentation, or workflow improvement.
• Experience supporting Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, project management, or other corporate functions.

• Experience with Deltek Costpoint, UKG, Microsoft Fabric, or similar platforms.
• Experience working in a nonprofit, healthcare, research, federal contracting, or other regulated environment.
• Experience developing user guidance, documentation, or training for new technology solutions.
