About the Role

  • Translate business and analytical requirements into technical data models (star schemas, semantic models, lakehouse patterns)
  • Write, optimize, and tune SQL and Spark-based transformations for large-scale analytical workloads
  • Apply version control, CI/CD concepts, and code review standards to all data engineering workflows
  • Design and implement complex data models utilizing Power BI, including enterprise-grade semantic layer development
  • Create visually compelling, interactive reports and dashboards that drive measurable client decisions

  • Integrate data from diverse sources into Power BI, leveraging SQL skills for efficient extraction and transformation
  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and usability across the analytics platform
  • Enable self-service analytics by partnering with client business teams to deliver trusted datasets and dashboards
  • Work directly with client stakeholders to gather requirements, communicate technical concepts, and manage expectations
  • Provide expert guidance on Power BI solutions and data platform decisions
  • Conduct in-depth research on emerging tools and trends to keep clients ahead of the curve
  • Act as a core technical asset in Collectiv’s marketing and business development efforts
  • Facilitate training sessions and support client teams through platform adoption and change
  • Build strong client relationships through clear communication, confidence with stakeholders, and a warm, personable presence
  • Take a proactive approach to delivery and client relationships by anticipating needs, following through on commitments, and looking for opportunities to add value
  • Collaborate with project managers, architects, and fellow consultants to align technical delivery with project goals
  • Ensure solutions meet quality criteria related to performance, scalability, security, and maintainability
  • Contribute to internal documentation, reusable patterns, and knowledge sharing across Collectiv
  • Participate in post-project retrospectives and contribute to Collectiv’s data platform standards
