• Oversee integration with Power BI, supporting report delivery and cross‑platform data flows
• Collaborate with Platform, Database, and Infrastructure teams to provision, secure, and optimize new database technologies
• Implement and manage robust security models, including LDAP/Active Directory integration, user role creation, and project‑level access controls
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security guidelines and participate in audits as required
• Respond to high‑priority production incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive resolution across teams
• Provide deployment, upgrade, and troubleshooting support for multiple enterprise projects, maintaining required service levels
• Partner with business, analytics, and engineering teams to deliver secure, governed, and high‑performing BI solutions
• Document system configurations, procedures, and operational guidelines

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience administering and supporting Micro Strategy environments
• 5+ years of experience with Power BI, including report setup and workspace management
• Strong experience with AWS cloud services (Quick Sight, EKS, Redshift) and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform)
• Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments, including shell scripting, SQL, and PL/SQL
• Deep understanding of Micro Strategy architecture, security, and administration tools (Developer, Object Manager, Command Manager, Workstation)
• Excellent communication, debugging, monitoring, and troubleshooting skills

• Experience with Micro Strategy Customer Managed Cloud and AWS Quick Sight
• Micro Strategy and/or AWS certifications
