For more than 90 years, Simplot Company has grown as a family-owned, privately held global food and agriculture company. Our diverse businesses span agriculture, food production, manufacturing, mining, plant and animal sciences, ranching and cattle production, logistics, and transportation, connecting many of the essential steps that bring food from the earth to communities around the world.

That diversity creates strength, stability, and opportunity. Across our global business, employees can build new skills, explore different career paths, and contribute to meaningful work in a culture where safety is foundational.

Whatever your role, your work at Simplot contributes to something bigger. Join us to grow your career, make an impact, and help shape the future of food and agriculture.

As the Analytics Platforms Analyst, you will strengthen how Simplot works with data to improve decisions and make work more efficient. You will enable business users to build and use reports, dashboards, and data models in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric that are secure, efficient, and built on trusted data.

You will partner with business users and IT data engineering to define use cases, recommend the right tools and architecture, and co-develop solutions. As a senior individual contributor, you will help set enterprise standards, monitor the health and cost of the environment, and build the training, templates, and guides that let users succeed on their own. You will also evaluate new Power BI and Fabric capabilities, including embedded Copilot features, and determine which are ready and valuable for Simplot.

This work is shared across a small team, and no one is expected to be an expert in every area. What matters most is curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to keep learning as the technology changes quickly.
