• Establish and champion data governance standards, including naming conventions, security roles, and consistent metric definitions across reports.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate, automate, and modernize legacy reporting processes, reducing manual effort and improving data reliability.
• Evaluate emerging tools and capabilities within the Microsoft data ecosystem and recommend adoption where they add business value.
• Advocate for a data-driven culture by proactively surfacing insights and recommendations to leadership, rather than waiting for requests.

• Strong Power BI Data Modeling, DAX, and SQL Skills.
• Experience creating dashboards and data visualizations.
• Understanding of Data Warehouse and Data Engineering concepts.
