Overview
We are seeking two Power BI Developers to join a growing enterprise data team and embed directly with key business units. These roles are highly customer-facing and design-oriented, focused on transforming business needs into intuitive, visually compelling data products.
The ideal candidate is a strong Power BI developer who enjoys partnering with stakeholders, shaping requirements, and building dashboards that drive real business decisions.

- Attend business meetings to gather requirements, brainstorm solutions, and act as a trusted data partner to leaders
- Create Power BI measures and calculations to support business reporting needs
- Collaborate with data engineering and offshore support teams for data sourcing, integrations, and complex technical work
- Continuously refine and enhance dashboards based on user feedback and changing business needs
- Establish strong working relationships with embedded business teams and contribute ideas to the broader data organization
Required Qualifications
- 3–10 years of experience developing dashboards and reports using Power BI
- Strong understanding of Power BI functionality, including measures and dashboard design
- Proven ability to design clean, intuitive, and visually compelling data products
- Experience working directly with business stakeholders and translating ambiguous requirements into clear solutions
- Solid understanding of data structures, data formatting, and data concepts
- Familiarity with APIs, ETLs, and data pipelines (hands-on engineering not required)
- Ability to “speak business” and explain insights without excessive technical jargon
- Self-driven, curious, and eager to learn new domains and data sources
- Comfortable working with minimal micromanagement and owning relationships with internal customers
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Experience in a consulting or client-facing analytics environment
- Exposure to enterprise-scale data environments
- Background in UI/UX principles for data visualization
- Familiarity with logistics, commercial, or operational data (not required)
