• Integrate data from ERP systems, warehouse management software, ecommerce platforms, shipping applications, and third-party data sources using APIs and database connections.
• Build and maintain automated reporting workflows, data transformation processes, and analytical solutions using Python, SQL, and business intelligence platforms.
• Collaborate with technology leadership, finance, operations, and department stakeholders to gather reporting requirements, define key performance indicators, and prioritize analytics projects.
• Identify data inconsistencies, perform data validation, troubleshoot reporting discrepancies, and implement quality controls to improve data accuracy and reliability.
• Lead business intelligence and reporting projects, including solution planning, development, testing, stakeholder review, implementation, and ongoing support.
• Evaluate opportunities to improve business intelligence capabilities through cloud analytics platforms, workflow automation, and AI-assisted data analysis.
• Develop and maintain documentation covering reporting logic, data sources, database relationships, dashboard definitions, and analytical processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Data Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2 to 3 years of experience in business intelligence, data analytics, reporting development, data engineering, or a related analytical technology role.
• Strong SQL skills, including complex queries, joins, aggregations, data transformations, and database performance optimization.
• Hands-on experience developing dashboards, reports, and visualizations using Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or comparable business intelligence platforms.
• Working knowledge of Python or a similar scripting language for data preparation, reporting automation, and analytical workflows.
• Experience integrating data from multiple software applications, relational databases, APIs, and enterprise systems.
• Understanding of data modeling, ETL processes, data validation, reporting logic, and data quality management.
• Ability to define business metrics, interpret operational data, identify trends, and translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations.
• Experience managing reporting initiatives, prioritizing analytics requests, and coordinating deliverables with business and technical stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical problem-solving, communication, and technical documentation skills.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience developing business intelligence solutions for manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, ecommerce, warehousing, or distribution operations.
• Familiarity with ERP platforms, warehouse management systems, inventory management tools, and order processing applications.
• Experience with Google BigQuery, cloud data warehouses, SQL-based analytics platforms, or related cloud technologies.
• Knowledge of Shopify, WooCommerce, ecommerce reporting, fulfillment analytics, or shipping cost analysis.
• Experience with advanced Power BI functionality, including DAX, Power Query, data modeling, and automated data refresh processes.
• Familiarity with data governance, workflow automation, AI-assisted analytics, internal application development, or low-code reporting tools.
