About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, build, and maintain interactive Power BI dashboards, paginated reports, and HTML dashboards for stakeholders across membership, events, the Foundation, and operations.
Write advanced DAX expressions to support complex business logic, time intelligence, and KPI calculations.
Write and optimize SQL queries against the NetFORUM database and other source systems to build reliable, well-structured data layers.
Own the monthly official membership report cycle: validating data against a fixed monthly snapshot, coordinating with teams responsible for further validation, and publishing the final report on schedule.
Conduct regular data quality checks, troubleshoot discrepancies, and work with stakeholders to resolve issues at the source.
Partner directly with non-technical stakeholders to gather requirements, ask the right clarifying questions, and translate ambiguous requests into concrete report designs.
Build and maintain reusable components, templates, and standards that promote consistency across the reporting portfolio.
Use AI tools to support query writing and DAX development where useful, while owning the hands-on design and build work that still requires human judgment.
Document data definitions, sources, and business rules to support broader data governance.
