Data Engineering, Data Analyst, Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing
Greater Milwaukee area (hybrid 3 days/week onsite)
Role OverviewThis role is designed as a modern hybrid data position that sits between traditional analytics, BI development, and engineering. Rather than hiring a narrowly scoped reporting analyst or narrow data engineer, we are adding a versatile utility player who can help move data from source to insight, supporting backend data operations, shaping analytics-ready models, and enabling high-value dashboards, reporting, and business intelligence across the firm.
The person in this role will partner closely with the existing BI Developer and Data Engineer to increase team throughput, improve scalability, and strengthen the foundation for current BI reporting, future AI & predictive analytics, and enterprise data initiatives. This is a strong opportunity for a high-upside mid-level experienced candidate who wants broader ownership, cross-functional exposure, and a clear path to grow with a scaling enterprise data organization.

This role goes further upstream and downstream: helping shape the data models, supporting pipeline and platform operations, improving data reliability, and building reusable analytics assets that make the entire organization more scalable.
