Report Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Summary/Objective:

The Report Developer is a dedicated, detail-oriented professional responsible for executing, maintaining, improving, and developing business reports that support operational and business decision-making across the organization. This role will initially focus on daily and weekly operational reporting execution and maintenance for Supply Chain, improving accuracy, usability, and efficiency of existing reports.

• Future environment will shift reporting into Power BI and Aptean BI as the organization implements and expands Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, while continuing to support Excel-based reporting where needed.
