Position Summary

As a Business Analyst on the FP&A team, you'll serve as the reporting and analytics specialist responsible for translating financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights. Embedded within Finance and partnering closely with IT, you'll play a central role in the rollout and adoption of the enterprise data lake and Power BI reporting platform—building the dashboards and reports that leadership and business functions rely on to make confident, data-driven decisions across all brands, while working hand-in-hand with IT to validate and ensure the accuracy and reliability of underlying data.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You'll own the build-out of reporting solutions from requirements through delivery, working at the intersection of financial analysis, data validation, and business storytelling. You'll collaborate daily with FP&A leadership, IT's data and analytics resources, and stakeholders across Operations, Marketing, and the brands to ensure reporting is accurate, reliable, governed, and continuously improving.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting & Dashboard Development

• Design, build, and maintain Power BI dashboards and reports aligned to FP&A, executive, and cross-functional reporting needs—translating complex data into clear visual narratives that drive action
• Perform thorough data validation and reconciliation of Power BI reports against source systems and financial records, partnering with IT to identify and resolve data discrepancies, ensure refresh reliability, and build confidence in reporting accuracy across the organization
• Partner with IT's data and analytics team to define reporting requirements against the enterprise data lake, ensuring data sourcing, transformations, and refresh schedules meet business needs
  
  

Data Lake Rollout & Adoption Support

• Serve as the FP&A team's primary liaison to IT during the data lake and Power BI platform buildout, representing finance reporting requirements, validating data accuracy at each stage of delivery, and ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of data flowing from source systems through the data lake into reports
• Own data validation, reconciliation, and quality assurance efforts as new data sources are onboarded into the data lake—systematically comparing outputs against source systems, flagging inconsistencies, and collaborating with IT to resolve issues before reports reach end users
• Contribute to the definition of data governance standards, naming conventions, and reporting best practices in partnership with IT and business stakeholders
  
  

Requirements & Stakeholder Engagement

• Elicit, document, and prioritize reporting requirements through stakeholder interviews, workshops, and iterative review cycles with FP&A leadership and cross-functional partners
• Translate business questions into well-structured reporting specifications, including data source identification, KPI definitions, filtering/drill-down logic, and refresh cadence
• Lead user acceptance testing (UAT) for new reports and dashboards, coordinating feedback and driving resolution of issues prior to release
  
  

Training, Adoption & Continuous Improvement

• Deliver training and adoption support to report consumers across the organization, enabling self-service usage of Power BI where appropriate
• Maintain documentation of reports, KPI definitions, data sources, validation procedures, and data lineage to support audit readiness, onboarding, and institutional knowledge
  
  

Proactively identify opportunities to improve reporting accuracy, efficiency, and coverage—recommending enhancements based on user feedback, evolving business needs, and platform capabilities.

What Good Looks Like

You'll be successful in this role if you are:

• You care deeply about data accuracy and the stories data tells—you see every report as an opportunity to help someone make a better decision, faster
• Detail-oriented and methodical, but pragmatic—you know how to balance precision with pace in a fast-moving, multi-brand environment
• Collaborative and communicative, with the ability to explain data concepts in clear, business-friendly language that resonates with both finance professionals and non-technical stakeholders
• Results-oriented: you define success by the clarity, timeliness, and adoption of the reporting you deliver—and by the confidence it gives leadership to act
  
  

Qualifications

• 2-3 years of experience in a business analyst, reporting analyst, or financial systems analyst role with a strong focus on building reports and dashboards for finance or FP&A functions
• Hands-on proficiency with Power BI, including report and dashboard development—experience validating report outputs against source data and working with cloud-based data sources (e.g., Azure SQL, Synapse, or data lake architectures) is strongly preferred
• Solid understanding of financial data, chart of accounts structures, and FP&A reporting concepts (e.g., actuals vs. budget/forecast, variance analysis, P&L and balance sheet reporting)
• Experience eliciting and documenting business requirements and translating them into reporting solutions—comfortable facilitating discussions with finance leaders and cross-functional stakeholders
• Familiarity with data governance principles, data quality practices, and the fundamentals of data warehousing or data lake concepts
• Working knowledge of SQL for data validation and ad hoc analysis; experience with the broader Microsoft ecosystem (Power Platform, Azure services, Excel/Office 365) is a plus
• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, Business, or a related field; relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft Power BI, Power Platform) are a plus
