• Manage capacity planning, licensing and cost optimization across tenants and workspaces.
• Partner with data engineering, solution architecture and business stakeholders to enable self‑service analytics; provide enablement and best‑practice guidance.
• Support a multi‑tool ecosystem when required (e.g., Tableau/Cognos) and lead migrations to modern BI platform capabilities.

What you will bring

• A university or college education in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in BI platform administration/engineering and 3+ years operating Power BI Service/Microsoft Fabric in production.
