Turn data into insights that drive better decisions.

Midwest Technical Institute (MTI), Delta Technical College (DTC), and MTI Online are seeking an experienced Data Analyst to join our Information Technology team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who enjoys digging into data, building meaningful reporting solutions, and partnering with business leaders to turn information into action.

You’ll work closely with our Product Owner and executive stakeholders to develop KPIs, dashboards, exception reporting, and scalable data solutions that help leaders identify trends, spot issues early, and make informed decisions.

• Develop and maintain organizational KPIs, business reporting, and executive dashboards.
• Build interactive Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions.
• Write, optimize, and troubleshoot MS SQL Server queries, stored procedures, and views.
• Use Python for data analysis, automation, and pipeline development.
• Design and maintain ETL pipelines to clean, transform, and integrate data.
• Create exception reporting that identifies anomalies and out-of-threshold conditions.
• Work with MongoDB and/or Microsoft Fabric within modern data platform environments.
• Partner directly with executives and business leaders to translate reporting needs into actionable solutions.
• Support emerging AI-driven analytics initiatives.
• Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field—or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience in Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, or Reporting Analytics.
• Proficiency with Python for data analysis and automation.

If you’re a technically strong analyst who can connect data, technology, and business strategy, we’d love to hear from you.
