Sr Data & Analytics Engineer

Title: Sr Data & Analytics Engineer
Duration: 6 months
Location: Remote

Position Overview

Seeking a seasoned professional to lead the technical foundation for Decision Ready Insights. This role will design the data architecture, governed reporting model, and analytics framework that transform portfolio, financial, and delivery data into trusted insights for enterprise decision-making.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on data engineering expertise with the ability to translate executive and operational needs into scalable reporting solutions. This is not solely a dashboard-development role; it requires architecture, integration, governance, and delivery leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement the Decision Ready Insights data architecture and reporting model.
• Integrate portfolio, delivery, financial, benefits, KPI, and resource data from Planview, Azure DevOps (ADO), EWM, Finance, Power BI, and other approved enterprise sources.
• Establish common identifiers, data relationships, authoritative-source rules, lineage, and ownership.
• Build governed datasets, reusable semantic models, ETL/ELT pipelines, historical snapshots, KPI calculations, and trend logic.
• Assess data quality and implement validation, reconciliation, monitoring, and remediation controls.
• Translate decision and reporting use cases into scalable solutions for EIC, Portfolio Leaders, Program Leaders, Delivery Teams, and EPMO Leadership.
• Partner with business, technology, finance, and portfolio stakeholders to define requirements, metrics, and reporting priorities.
• Document the target architecture, standards, operating model, and roadmap; transfer knowledge to internal teams.

Required Qualifications

• 8 years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, business intelligence, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience designing enterprise data architectures and executive reporting solutions.
• Advanced SQL skills and strong experience with dimensional modeling, semantic models, and ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Azure data technologies and Power BI datasets, models, and reporting.
• Knowledge of data governance, data quality, lineage, metadata, and source-to-report controls.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to executive and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Experience

• Planview, Azure DevOps, EWM, portfolio management, or EPMO reporting.
• Executive scorecards, KPI frameworks, investment governance, benefits realization, or financial reporting.
• Delivering in an ambiguous, cross-functional enterprise environment.

What Success Looks Like

• A trusted source-to-report architecture is established and documented.
• Critical data definitions, ownership, and validation rules are consistently applied.
• Manual reconciliation is reduced through governed, reusable data products.
• Role-based reporting supports clear decisions, actions, and accountability.
• A scalable technical foundation and prioritized roadmap are ready for continued delivery.

Initial Engagement Deliverables

• Current-state data architecture, source, and data-quality assessment
• Authoritative-source inventory, ownership model, and governance standards
• Target data model, integration design, and semantic reporting layer
• Initial governed dataset with KPI, trend, and validation logic
• Power BI modeling and reporting standards
• Pilot executive and portfolio reporting solutions
• Data-gap remediation plan and prioritized implementation roadmap
• Technical documentation and knowledge-transfer materials

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate is a pragmatic architect and hands-on builder who can move from strategy to implementation. They will be comfortable challenging assumptions, resolving ambiguity, engaging senior stakeholders, and maintaining focus on actionable insight rather than dashboard volume.
