• Administer the division’s reporting governance framework, including maintaining an inventory of reporting assets and applying standards for development, documentation, ownership, data validation, and lifecycle management.
• Evaluate new reporting requests against existing capabilities to reduce duplicate, inconsistent, or unnecessary reporting and identify opportunities to consolidate or enhance existing solutions.
• Serve as a central point of coordination for reporting requests, partnering with Operations, Finance, Technology, and other departments to understand needs and facilitate the appropriate solution.
• Translate business requirements into technical requirements and coordinate with BI, data, technology, and other reporting resources as needed to deliver solutions.
• Partner with business stakeholders to establish and maintain consistent metrics, definitions, data logic, and sources of truth across reporting.
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve reporting through automation, data integration, AI, and emerging technologies.
• Monitor and troubleshoot reporting systems, data integrations, reconciliation issues, data quality, and production performance.
• Develop and maintain documentation that improves transparency into data sources, calculations, business logic, reporting ownership, and processes.
• Proactively identify reporting gaps and opportunities to improve the quality, efficiency, scalability, and business value of division reporting.

What Youll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent combination of education and experience
• 5+ years of directly related experience
• Advanced Business Intelligence and data visualization
• SQL and data querying
