Job description

Description

Key responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining key relationships, by running or attending stakeholder calls with each of the core BI domains
• Ensuring tactical engineering decisions are sound, through design reviews and design standards
• This does not include reviewing every PR. While you should review a sample of PRs to keep a pulse on team progress and check quality, code reviews are an engineer responsibility
• Coordinate the actions of the BI team by:
  • Hosting regular stand‑ups
  • Holding team members accountable for timely ticket/issue updates
  • Planning sprints and managing project capacity & pace
• Build an effective engineering team by:
  • Hiring skilled candidates
  • Setting regular 1:1s and following through on performance management with staff
• Coordinate with engineering/development manager peers on cross‑team projects
• Set & execute strategic direction with the Director of Enterprise Analytics, including:
  • Hiring & onboarding standards
  • Team capacity management
  • Cross‑domain analytics strategy
  • Technical strategy, including data warehouse design, developer tooling, and BI engineer workflow design

You should not take on critical‑path development items, but you should spend ~10-15% of time contributing fixes, minor features, and debugging. This will allow you to stay in tune with the developer experience and maintain a working knowledge of our enterprise data models.

The BI Engineering Manager role is effective when you empower the team to execute quickly and efficiently, with a common vision. While technical leadership is a core responsibility and hands‑on skills are expected, this is not a developer role.

Education and Experience

• 5+ years of experience leading enterprise technology development, business intelligence or business insights teams
• Experience leading and implementing analytical solutions using commercial tools and platforms
• 5+ years of experience working with business stakeholders and senior leaders in understanding and delivering business intelligence, business insights and data analytics solutions
• At least 3 years of management experience in a technical capacity
• At least 5 years of experience in a technology focused capacity

Physical Requirements

• Job requires the ability to use vision, adjust focus and work on a standard computer screen.
• Job may require extended sitting or standing, use of standard office equipment.
• Job will require presence on‑site at the assigned work location.
• Job requires attendance and dependability.

Minimum Requirements

• Must be eligible to work in the United States for any company in an ongoing capacity without company sponsorship.
• Must be able to perform the physical requirements of the position.

Other Skills and Abilities

• 5+ years building in BI tools
• Preferred: deep Power BI experience, including semantic model best practices & DAX optimization
• Preferred: strong visual design skills
• Preferred: experience applying product management fundamentals to BI assets, including: marketing, usage monitoring, and incremental product improvement
• 5+ years writing and optimizing SQL, including using a cloud data warehouse platform
• Preferred: extensive experience working with Snowflake
• Prior experience leading data projects
• Preferred: 5+ years of supply chain or logistics experience
• Bachelor’s degree or higher, preferably in a technical discipline such as engineering, math, economics, computer science, etc.
