Role Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled Power BI professional who can design, build, and implement end-to-end dashboards that translate business questions into clear, actionable insights.

This role requires more than technical proficiency - the ideal candidate should be excellent at understanding business requirements, structuring them into robust data models, and delivering sustainable, scalable BI solutions. A strong communication is a must.

Business users may not always articulate system-level or design-level requirements clearly. The resource must bridge the gap between Ask and Final solution

Translate business requirements into well-structured BI solutions.
Challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and propose better data and visualization approaches where needed.

Power BI Dashboard Design & Development
Design and develop interactive, user-friendly, and performance-optimized dashboards using Power BI.
Build strong semantic models with reusable measures and standardized KPIs.
Create dashboards that are intuitive for non-technical business users.
Apply best practices in layout, storytelling, drill-downs, filters, and navigation.

Design efficient data models (star/snowflake schemas where appropriate).
Write optimized and maintainable DAX measures for complex calculations.
Ensure accuracy, consistency, and performance of calculations across reports.
Handle incremental refresh, large datasets, and performance tuning.

Data Integration & Transformation

Connect Power BI to multiple data sources (databases, Excel, CSVs, APIs, etc.).
Use Power Query (M) for data cleaning, transformation, and shaping.
Ensure data quality, reconciliation, and consistency across sources.

Deployment, Governance & Maintenance

Manage Power BI Service workspaces, datasets, refresh schedules, and access controls.
Implement row-level security (RLS) where required.
Ensure dashboards are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with governance standards.
Provide ongoing support, enhancements, and performance improvements.

Collaboration & Communication

Work closely with business teams, data teams, and IT as required.
Explain dashboards, metrics, and logic in simple, business-friendly language.
Train users on dashboard usage and interpretation where needed.

- Minimum experience of least 5+ years as a stand-alone contributor on Power BI solution; over all experience of 9+ years
