You'll become part of a close-knit analytics team where your work has visibility across the organization.

This is an environment where people are trusted, supported, and given opportunities to grow. As you gain familiarity with the business, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of larger initiatives and expand your impact over time.

- Design, develop, and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions used across the organization.
- Write and optimize SQL queries to analyze and transform data from multiple sources.
- Create scalable data models and calculations using DAX and the Microsoft data stack.
- Partner with stakeholders across manufacturing, finance, logistics, marketing, and executive teams to understand reporting needs and deliver actionable insights.
- Support analytics initiatives using tools including Power BI, Azure Analysis Services, Databricks, and SQL.
- Assist with automation and advanced analytics efforts using Python when appropriate.
- Help expand reporting capabilities and improve how information is delivered throughout the business.
- Participate in emerging AI initiatives and future-focused analytics projects as the organization continues to invest in new technologies.
What We're Looking For
- Experience building reports and dashboards with Power BI.
- Strong SQL skills for data extraction, analysis, and manipulation.
- Experience with DAX and data modeling.
- Familiarity with the Microsoft data ecosystem.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.
- A collaborative mindset and desire to continuously learn and grow.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Databricks.
- Exposure to Python for data analysis or automation.
- Manufacturing industry experience.
Why People Stay Here
- Stable and established company with a long-term outlook.
- Strong work-life balance and flexibility.
- Collaborative team environment with direct access to leadership.
- Exposure to the entire business—not just one functional area.
- Opportunity to grow into larger projects and increase your ownership over time.
- Investment in professional development and training.
- Small, highly visible analytics team where your contributions make a real impact.
- Exposure to emerging AI initiatives and modern data technologies.
If you're looking for a place where you can continue to develop your skills, work with a variety of business partners, and build a long-term career in analytics, we'd love to speak with you.
