• Understand the underlying data pipelines, sources, transformations, staging processes, and repositories that support reporting
• Develop SQL queries and work directly with SQL databases to investigate, validate, and prepare data for reporting
• Help identify data quality issues, inconsistencies, and gaps that impact reporting accuracy
• Work with data from legacy, disparate, and enterprise systems and understand how those systems feed downstream reporting
• Support data ingestion and transformation activities when necessary, including working with Azure Data Factory (ADF)
• Develop dashboards and reports that make complex enterprise data accessible and actionable to technical and business stakeholders
• Optimize Power BI reports, data models, queries, and visualizations for enterprise use
• Collaborate with backend data engineering resources on data requirements, pipeline dependencies, and reporting architecture
• Document reporting solutions, data sources, data relationships, and technical dependencies

• Experience working directly with SQL and SQL databases
• Understanding of ETL/data transformation, staging, aggregation, and data pipelines
• Experience working with enterprise datasets and preparing data for reporting
• Experience integrating or working with data from multiple, disparate, or legacy systems
• Sufficient Azure Data Factory experience to understand and work with the pipelines feeding downstream reporting
• Ability to work across the data lifecycle and understand how source data → pipelines → transformation → repositories → reporting fit together
• Preferred:
  Azure Data Factory (ADF), Python, Power Shell, XML, SSIS, Azure/cloud data environments, data modeling, enterprise BI/data warehousing, Splunk
