KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES / ROLE PURPOSE
This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, serving as the critical bridge between the data engineering team and the data analysts. This role is responsible for aiding the data engineers by transforming raw data into clean, structured, and well-modelled datasets that power reliable reporting and analytics across the business.

- Design, build, and maintain transformation pipelines within Microsoft Fabric, converting raw ingested data into clean, consistent, analytics-ready datasets.
- Develop and maintain reusable, well-documented semantic data models optimized for Power BI consumption and business reporting.
- Build, publish, and maintain dynamic, interactive Power BI reports and dashboards that meet business requirements, using advanced DAX measures, Power Query transformations, and row-level security where required.
- Support the Data Engineering team in documenting source-to-target mappings and re-engineering manual or fragmented data flows into scalable, automated, and repeatable processes within Microsoft Fabric Pipelines and OneLake.
- Collaborate closely with Data Analysts to understand reporting requirements and translate business questions into well-structured data models and reliable reporting solutions.
- Establish and maintain data quality checks, validation rules, and monitoring within the transformation layer to ensure data is accurate, consistent, and trustworthy.
- Implement and uphold data governance best practices within the BI and transformation layer.
- Optimize the performance of Power BI datasets and transformation pipelines, including incremental refresh, aggregation tables, query folding, and efficient DAX patterns to ensure fast and reliable report delivery.
- Conduct data audits and assessments to evaluate data quality, governance, and security practices, identifying areas for improvement and implementing corrective actions.
- Develop and maintain documentation for data pipelines, data sources, transformations, and data lineage to ensure transparency, traceability, and compliance with data governance standards.
- Work closely with stakeholders to manage relationships and oversee the full project lifecycle, providing technical leadership and project management for multiple reporting solutions.
