• Translate business requirements into reporting solutions, dashboards, and data products that support operational decision-making. You create prototypes and/or wireframes to validate proposals with requesters.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and functional specifications to align solutions with stakeholder expectations.
• Validate KPIs, business rules, data quality, performance, and governance requirements.
• Collaborate with data engineers, architects, and developers to deliver scalable reporting solutions.
• Coordinate testing activities and ensure solutions meet business needs before release.
• Support users through documentation, training, issue investigation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to reporting governance, standardization, and the evolution of self-service analytics across the Fab.
