Convert business requirements into clear functional designs and delivery-ready artifacts, including: KPI/metric definitions, calculation logic, and business rules Dashboard/report requirements (filters, drill paths, usability needs) Security and access requirements (e.g., role/region-based visibility) Data refresh needs, data lineage assumptions, and validation plans Acceptance criteria and test scenarios Partner with data engineering / analytics engineering to confirm feasibility, reduce rework, and ensure scalable implementation.
3. Data Modeling & Semantic Views (Power BI Enablement)
Create and maintain data models aligned to post-sales processes and analytics best practices (fact/dimension modeling, conformed dimensions where applicable).
Create semantic views over underlying data models (Snowflake/Power BI semantic models / curated dataset layer) to enable consistent self-service reporting, including:
Standardized measures/KPIs
Business-friendly naming conventions, hierarchies, and metadata
Reusable definitions and “single source of truth” datasets
Performance considerations and model usability patterns
Support data quality and metric integrity through reconciliation, anomaly checks, and root-cause analysis of reporting discrepancies.
4. BI & Reporting Enablement (Power BI)
Enable business functions with trusted datasets, semantic models, and documentation so they can build dashboards and visualizations in Power BI. Provide guidance on best practices for using shared datasets, consistent KPI interpretation, and governance expectations. Support adoption by creating how-to documentation and lightweight enablement sessions as needed.
5. AI Agents & Conversational Analytics
Contribute to AI Agent and conversational analytics initiatives that allow stakeholders to ask questions in natural language and receive governed, explainable answers. Help define intents and analytic use-cases, identify the right datasets/metrics to ground responses, and document guardrails (approved definitions, exclusions, confidence checks). Test and validate AI outputs for accuracy, consistency with metric definitions, and usefulness for business decisions.
6. Delivery & Documentation
Work in an agile delivery model (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) and maintain clear project documentation (requirements, designs, definitions, and change notes). Present insights, designs, and outcomes in a structured and actionable way.
