The reporting requirements from the product managers are complex, and the shared Tabular model must evolve to support those requirements. Thorough analysis and thoughtful design are needed before implementing Tabular model changes.

• Create derivative database tables to support reporting requirements.
• Modify and create Tabular models to support Power BI reports.
• Identify and debug data problems in warehouse tables and Power BI datasets.
• Identify deficiencies in Tabular models; recommend and implement improvements.

What you need to succeed

• Experience designing, implementing, and optimizing Microsoft SSAS Tabular models; 6+ years
• 10+ years of professional experience with BI and data warehousing
• Data architect skills; conceptual, logical, and physical modeling; integration techniques; access control strategies
• Strong SQL and database skills
• Experience with Power BI report development and DAX; 3+ years
• Strong requirement gathering skills; understanding the problem; efficient communication
