Job Overview - Power BI Developer

HUB International is rapidly expanding our data product offerings and technological solutions and is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Power BI Developer, who is passionate about transforming data into actionable insights. In this role, you will build sophisticated reports and applications that serve thousands of users across our enterprise, working within established governance frameworks and enterprise standards to ensure consistency, quality, and reliability.

The Power BI Developer plays a critical role in translating business needs into visual analytics solutions that drive strategic decisions across the organization. You will work closely with product owners, quality assurance teams, engineers, and business stakeholders throughout HUB International to understand requirements, validate data, design intuitive user experiences, and deliver production-quality reports that meet enterprise standards for performance, security, and governance.
