Business Intelligence & Analytics Analyst

Center of Excellence (COE)

Level: Senior Associate / Supervising Associate / Assistant Director

 

Role Summary

We are seeking a Business Intelligence & Analytics Analyst to join our Center of Excellence (COE) team. This role focuses on building reporting solutions and delivering analytical insights that help the business understand performance, trends, and key drivers.

At a minimum, the successful candidate will be able to work effectively in Excel for analysis and reporting and have familiarity with creating basic dashboards in Power BI. Deep technical expertise in Power BI, data modeling, or SQL is not required on day one. Advanced technical skills are developed over time through hands on work, coaching, and collaboration.

This role is well suited for someone who is curious about how the business operates, can break down why information is needed, and translate those needs into clear, reliable reporting and analysis. Over time, the individual is expected to grow beyond basic dashboards and develop the ability to extract, transform, and analyze data using Power BI, SQL, Power Query, Dataflows, and Excel—delivering insight, not just visuals.

Success in this role depends on strong collaboration, transparency, and continuous technical growth. The analyst will work both independently and as part of shared COE initiatives, follow established standards and workflows, and build trust through consistent, visible delivery and a willingness to share knowledge and context with the broader team.
