Key Responsibilities

• Own Power BI reports and dashboards from requirements gathering and data preparation through modeling, visualization, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.

• Build reusable reporting solutions that provide site-level visibility while supporting consistent reporting across assigned operations.

• Develop DAX measures, Power Query transformations, and efficient semantic models while managing report refresh, access, navigation, drill-down capabilities, and performance within established IT standards.

• Analyze operational performance across volume, inbound and outbound activity, labor hours, productivity, overtime, staffing coverage, backlog, quality, capacity, and service levels.

• Investigate performance drivers and identify root causes by distinguishing true operational changes from data issues, activity-mix changes, or reporting inconsistencies.

• Develop analyses of labor requirements, capacity constraints, productivity opportunities, and operational improvements, including quantifying potential benefits and trade-offs.

• Partner with Operations and Finance to recommend actions and validate results following implementation.

• Write and optimize SQL to combine, transform, and validate approved data from warehouse, labor, timekeeping, and other relevant systems.

• Build reporting-ready datasets and coordinate upstream data requirements with IT and Data Engineering.

• Establish and document consistent KPI definitions, source lineage, calculation logic, and reporting cutoffs.

• Reconcile reporting to source systems and identify and resolve duplicate records, missing data, inconsistent mappings, and discrepancies in volume or labor-hour definitions before information is published.

• Automate recurring reporting by replacing avoidable manual data extraction, spreadsheet manipulation, and report distribution with repeatable and maintainable workflows.

• Implement refresh monitoring, validation checks, and exception handling to help users quickly identify stale, incomplete, or inaccurate information.

• Maintain reporting documentation, testing, and change controls while continuously improving reports based on user feedback and business value.

• Support reliable daily, weekly, and monthly operational reviews and retire redundant or low-value reporting when appropriate.

• Translate questions from site and regional leaders into clear analytical requirements and prioritized reporting or analysis plans.

• Develop a strong understanding of warehouse processes and validate analytical interpretations with the teams performing and managing the work.

• Communicate findings, recommendations, risks, and limitations in clear language that both technical and non-technical audiences can understand and use.

• Train report users, support internal and customer-facing business reviews as needed, and partner with Finance and IT to promote consistent metrics and avoid duplicate reporting solutions.
