• Build secure, scalable integrations between enterprise systems by leveraging APIs, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, SQL-based data sources, and other internal and external platforms.

• Own solutions beyond initial delivery, including monitoring, troubleshooting, feature enhancements, release planning, operational continuity, and stakeholder communication.

• Develop and promote reusable solution patterns, components, and best practices that improve delivery speed, maintainability, scalability, quality, and long-term sustainability.

• Actively contribute to a highly collaborative team environment by sharing knowledge, providing constructive feedback, partnering across disciplines, and helping establish consistent delivery approaches and best practices.

• Align solutions with enterprise architecture, data strategy, security, privacy, governance, and compliance standards while identifying opportunities for modernization and continuous improvement.

• Evaluate emerging technologies, platforms, and development approaches, and recommend how they can be applied to improve business outcomes and technical capabilities.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across multiple technologies and domains while enabling teammates through mentoring, knowledge sharing, and technical leadership.

• Support the sustainability, resiliency, and operational effectiveness of Analytics & Innovation solutions through documentation, monitoring, support processes, and knowledge transfer.

• Contribute to the evolution of Analytics & Innovation's analytics, automation, and modernization capabilities through the adoption of enterprise data platforms, integration technologies, and modern development practices.

• Experience designing and developing solutions using Microsoft Power Platform technologies, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse, and related services.

• Experience translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong consulting, communication, and relationship management skills with the ability to build trust, lead discovery conversations, influence decision-making, and facilitate alignment among diverse stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to connect technology solutions to business objectives, operational outcomes, measurable value creation, and long-term sustainability.

• Ability to respectfully challenge assumptions, recommend better approaches, and guide stakeholders toward solutions that balance business needs, technical feasibility, governance, and operational maintainability.

• Experience integrating enterprise systems through APIs, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, SQL-based data sources, and other modern integration technologies.

• Experience implementing application lifecycle management practices, development standards, governance standards, and CI/CD methodologies.

• Ability to own solutions through the full lifecycle, including discovery, design, build, testing, deployment, support, documentation, enhancement, and knowledge transfer.

• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in a tightly integrated team, share knowledge, mentor others, and contribute to common standards and reusable patterns.

• Experience working with modern data platforms and programming languages such as Databricks, SQL, Spark SQL, Python, SAS, or VBA.

• Familiarity with enterprise data strategy, analytics engineering, cloud-based data solutions, and modern integration patterns.

• Experience supporting low-code, automation, AI-assisted, or citizen development initiatives in a governed enterprise environment.

• Experience developing intake, prioritization, governance, support, or operational processes for analytics, automation, or process improvement solutions.

• Experience facilitating workshops, process mapping sessions, root-cause discussions, or solution design reviews with business and technical stakeholders.
