Key Responsibilities
Tool Expertise & Development

• Maintain deep, current knowledge of Power BI, Tableau, SAP BI, and SAC, including their respective architectures, licensing models, and product roadmaps.

• Apply modern BI features including advanced charts/graphs, segmentations, drill- through/drill-down reporting, scheduled refreshes and distribution, and alerting.
• Understand and articulate product differentiation across BI platforms to guide tool selection and use-case fit.
• Understand client-based vs. cloud/server-based service models for each platform (e.g.,
  Tableau Desktop/Server vs. Tableau Cloud, Power BI Desktop vs. Power BI Service, SAP BI on-prem vs. SAC cloud).
• Stay current on emerging AI-assisted BI features (e.g., Copilot in Power BI, Tableau Agent/Pulse, SAC AI features) to accelerate development and adoption.

Migration & Integration

• Lead or support migration projects from SAP BI to Power BI or Tableau, including content conversion, semantic model redesign, and validation.
• Integrate BI tools with diverse data sources: Oracle, Cloudera, AWS (S3, Athena, RDS), GCP BigQuery, Azure/Azure Foundry, and other cloud/on-prem data platforms.
• Apply understanding of ETL/ELT processes and upstream data pipelines to support accurate, performant report and dashboard development.

Administration & Operations

• Build and maintain governance/usage dashboards to monitor platform adoption, performance, and license utilization.

• Support authentication and authorization integration for BI platforms using Microsoft Entra ID, ISAM, or LDAP.
• Review and remediate security vulnerabilities for on-prem BI products in a timely manner.

Performance & Best Practices

• Optimize dashboard and report performance to eliminate long-running queries and improve end-user experience.
• Define and promote BI layer best practices (data modeling standards, naming conventions, workbook/report design standards).

Enablement & Support

• Act as the SME for BI tools, supporting business users with development questions, troubleshooting, and adoption.
• Deliver training sessions and build user guides / knowledge base articles for BI tool usage and new features.
• Develop reusable templates to help users quickly adopt new BI features and capabilities.
