Business Intelligence Consultant - Data & Engineering

Business Intelligence Consultant

The Business Intelligence Consultant – Data Engineering & Foundations is responsible for building and maintaining the technical backbone of business intelligence, ensuring data is accurate, scalable, performant, and trusted across the organization.

This role owns the "what" and the "how" of BI — designing data models, pipelines, and BI architecture that support consistent metrics, reliable reporting, and enterprise-scale analytics. This role partners closely with BI Strategy, Enablement & Governance to ensure technical delivery aligns with business intent and governance standards.

This position is not an ad-hoc reporting role. It is the builder of truth, scale, and reliability.

Key responsibilities include:

• Design, build, and maintain data models, schemas, and transformations
• Develop and manage data pipelines that ensure timely, accurate data availability
• Own BI platform architecture (e.g., Power BI) for performance, scalability, and reliability
• Implement KPI definitions provided through governance frameworks
• Ensure metrics are calculated consistently and correctly across reports and datasets
• Support a true single source of truth
• Deliver curated datasets, enterprise dashboards, and automated reporting solutions
• Build reusable, standardized frameworks to reduce rework and manual effort
• Enforce data standards, naming conventions, and modeling best practices
• Partner with Strategy & Enablement to validate requirements and confirm delivery meets intent
• Support governance enforcement through technical controls
• Monitor data quality, performance, and usage
• Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or improve BI infrastructure
• Reduce technical debt and reliance on manual processes

This role operates in a co-ownership handshake model:

• Engineering & Data Foundations owns:
• Technical design and implementation
• Data reliability, performance, and scalability
• Strategy, Enablement & Governance owns:
• Business intent, KPI definition, and usage

Collaboration occurs at:

• Requirements translation
• Delivery validation
• Governance enforcement

Skills & experience include:

• Strong experience in BI engineering, data modeling, and analytics platforms
• Expertise in data transformation, schema design, and performance optimization
• Experience with enterprise BI tools (e.g., Power BI)
• Structured, methodical approach with high attention to data quality and reliability
• Ability to partner effectively with non-technical stakeholders through the BI strategy role

Success looks like:

• Data is trusted and consistent across the organization
• BI assets scale without constant rework
• Performance issues and data discrepancies are minimized
• The BI team is proactive, not a reactive ticket factory
