Jobbeschreibung

Are you someone who enjoys turning complex data into meaningful business insights? Do you love digging into data, uncovering trends, building dashboards, and helping business leaders make smarter decisions? We're looking for a Power BI Analyst to join an established, growing organization in the greater Knoxville, Tennessee area. This is a fully onsite opportunity for someone who enjoys collaborating directly with business stakeholders and leadership, understanding how a business operates, and making a meaningful impact through data. This isn't a traditional software development position. We're looking for an analytical thinker who understands the business behind the numbers, knows how to retrieve and interpret data, and can translate findings into clear, actionable reporting. You'll join a small, collaborative business intelligence team that has already made significant investments in its reporting capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Analyze business data: Explore datasets to identify trends, patterns, opportunities, and insights that support business decisions across the organization.
• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards: Develop interactive reports, dashboards, and visualizations that make complex information easy to understand and act upon.
• Write SQL queries: Retrieve, filter, join, and organize data from databases to create accurate datasets for reporting and analysis.
• Support an established BI environment: Maintain and enhance existing Power BI reports, respond to changing business requirements, and develop new reporting solutions.
• Partner with business leaders: Work directly with stakeholders and leadership to understand reporting needs, ask thoughtful questions, and translate business objectives into meaningful analysis.
• Tell the story behind the data: Go beyond presenting numbers to explain what the information reveals, why it matters, and how it can inform business decisions.
• Support business operations: Provide reporting and analytical insights that help the organization better understand performance, identify opportunities, and improve operational effectiveness.
• Ensure data accuracy: Validate reporting results, investigate discrepancies, and maintain confidence in the information being presented.
• Improve reporting capabilities: Identify opportunities to streamline reporting, enhance dashboards, and make business intelligence more accessible and useful.
• Participate in future BI initiatives: Contribute to the organization’s planned transition from its current Power BI environment, which utilizes an on-premises gateway, toward a fully cloud-hosted Microsoft Azure approach.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 3-5 years of experience in business intelligence, data analysis, reporting, or a related discipline.
• Hands-on experience creating reports, dashboards, and visualizations using Microsoft Power BI or Tableau, with Power BI preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of SQL, including the ability to independently query databases, retrieve data, and prepare datasets for analysis.
• Experience analyzing business data and translating findings into useful insights, rather than simply producing reports.
• Understanding of data relationships, reporting structures, and data modeling concepts.
• Strong business acumen and curiosity about how an organization operates and what drives performance.
• Ability to communicate findings clearly and confidently to both technical and nontechnical audiences, including leadership.
• Experience gathering reporting requirements, asking insightful questions, and working directly with business stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple reporting priorities.
• A proactive, collaborative approach and a genuine interest in helping others make better decisions through data.

Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable

• Familiarity with Power Query, DAX, and Power BI data modeling.
• Experience supporting or enhancing an established business intelligence reporting environment.
• Exposure to Microsoft Azure, cloud-based data platforms, or BI infrastructure transitions.
• Experience presenting analytical findings and recommendations to executive leadership.

Why This Opportunity?

• An established foundation with room to grow.
• You'll join a small BI team with a well-established Power BI environment, significant organizational investment, and opportunities to expand its capabilities.
• Real business impact. Your work won't stop at building dashboards. You'll help business leaders understand performance, uncover opportunities, and make informed decisions.
• Visibility across the organization. You'll collaborate directly with stakeholders and leadership, gaining exposure to different business functions and how they work together.
• An exciting technical roadmap. The organization is planning a transition toward a cloud-hosted Microsoft Azure environment, creating opportunities to participate in the next phase of its BI strategy.
• A team that values initiative. You'll work alongside a capable, motivated teammate in an environment where curiosity, ownership, analytical thinking, and a willingness to dig into problems are valued.

If you're a hands-on analyst who enjoys working with SQL, building meaningful dashboards, and helping people understand what their data is telling them, we'd love to hear from you.
