Business Intelligence Analyst
Position Description (Abstract)
This role is part of the Business Intelligence department of
Tigunia, which handles all reporting and data-related tasks for our clients of
many differing industries. To be
successful in this role, you will need a combination of technical, soft, and
analytical abilities. You will have to
mine data using sophisticated tools and software, analyze it to spot trends,
and then properly convey your results to others once you have identified data
trends. Responsibilities will include
implementations of Jet Analytics / TimeXtender, managing of security
permissions in a variety of security model complexities, extensive dimensional
modeling and data warehousing, development of reports in a variety of front-end
reporting solutions, as well as consulting and training on each of these
topics.
This is a role where you will interface directly with clients
and their systems, collaborating with them to complete their data or business
intelligence objectives. This is an
active, hands-on role which relies on problem solving capabilities and
self-reliance. Team members will work
with a variety of clients daily, both in communications as well as video
conferencing, and will need to be able to manage and prioritize requests as
they come in. Team members are expected
to adhere to naming conventions within client environments as well as to notate
complex designs so others can support and troubleshoot if needed.
The right person for this position is someone who:
·
Knows what the Kimball Model is. Not only do you need to understand
dimensional modeling and reporting techniques, but also will need to be able to
explain them to people who do not know much about either. Our team is designed to partner with our
clients to achieve business intelligence, meaning we strive to make their users
power-users of their own right, rather than relying on us for everything.
·
Enjoys data analysis and reporting. It is one thing to understand how data is
queried; it is an entirely different thing to enjoy what reporting and analysis
can provide. Our daily activity revolves
around reporting and data modeling, and so it is important that you enjoy what
you are creating. It also helps when
relating things to clients, as you will be able to speak to your experiences.
·
Is a professional troubleshooter. In this role, there will be scenarios where
the data provided is different than what was expected by the client. You will need to be able to dig into those
details and explain what is different and why.
Being proficient with data-sleuthing is a key to being successful in
this role.
