Support the development and implementation of KPIs, visualized data dashboards, and standardized data models (in co-operation with our BI teams).

Leverage and manipulate large amounts of data in Excel or PowerBI to create ad hoc data models to facilitate modelling and reporting.
Enjoy variety in your day and learning new things as most of the work is project based/ad hoc with some recurring reporting duties.

Excellent time management and organizational skills, ability to manage concurrent projects, address roadblocks, and prioritize effectively to meet timelines for multiple stakeholders.
Excellent interpersonal skills and ease in communicating with various levels in the organization, including senior management.

Proven ability to deliver on commitments with high quality results in a timely, accurate manner with high attention to detail.
Advanced Excel skills (Power Query, macros/VBA, pivot tables), with the ability to follow through relatively complex formulas to raw data within a model.
Data visualization experience with PowerBI and light to moderate data modelling via PowerQuery (merging multiple datasets, transforming data) is considered an asset.
