Full description
The Associate Analytics Engineer supports the modernization of the organization's reporting and data environment. Initially focused heavily on Power BI development and reporting, this role will progressively move data models and business logic upstream from individual reports into centralized, reusable data and semantic layers. Working with Analytics Engineers, Data Engineers, and business stakeholders, the Associate Analytics Engineer will maintain and enhance existing Power BI solutions while developing the skills and practices needed to build reliable, scalable, and well-governed data assets. Key Responsibilities Power BI & Analytics

- Develop and maintain Power BI data models, measures, and business logic.
- Troubleshoot data, modeling, and report issues and improve report performance and usability.
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand reporting needs and translate business definitions into consistent metrics and logic.
- Identify opportunities to reduce duplicated logic and move reusable business logic upstream from individual Power BI reports.
Analytics Engineering & Data Modeling
- Progressively migrate data models, transformations, and business logic from Power BI into centralized data and semantic layers.
- Develop and maintain analytics-ready datasets using emerging Analytics Engineering practices and patterns.
- Apply dimensional modeling concepts, including star schemas and other established data modeling practices.
- Write clean, maintainable SQL to transform and prepare data for analytical use.
- Contribute to reusable enterprise data assets and standardized business logic.
- Partner with Analytics Engineers and Data Engineers to understand data structures, technical patterns, and implementation approaches.
Data Quality & Performance

- Experience developing business logic and metrics within Power BI.
- Familiarity with modern cloud data platforms such as Databricks.
- Exposure to Git, version control, testing, or other software development practices is a plus.
- Interest in developing an Analytics Engineering skill set and applying engineering practices to data.
- Ability to translate business requirements and definitions into clear, consistent data logic.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to collaborate with business stakeholders, Analytics Engineers, and Data Engineers.
Growth in the Role The role is expected to evolve from a strong focus on Power BI development toward increasing responsibility for Analytics Engineering. Over time, the Associate Analytics Engineer will take on greater ownership of:
- Data modeling and transformation outside of Power BI.
- Reusable enterprise business logic and semantic definitions.
- Testing, validation, and technical documentation.
- Migration of reporting logic into centralized data assets.
- Code-based development and version-controlled data solutions.
- Technical design and implementation of analytics-ready data assets.
