Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Data Analytics Contractor to deliver end-to-end analytics solutions across

modern data platforms. You will build and optimize datasets in SQL Server, Snowflake, and

Microsoft Fabric, develop analytics in Python, and deliver executive-ready insights through Tableau

and Power BI. You will also leverage Microsoft Copilot and other AI-assisted tools to accelerate

analysis, development, documentation, and stakeholder support—while applying strong validation,

governance, and data quality practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Gather requirements, define KPIs, and translate business needs into scalable analytics

deliverables (datasets, semantic models, dashboards, and insights).

• Write and optimize advanced SQL across SQL Server, Snowflake, and Microsoft

Fabric (Warehouse/Lakehouse).

• Design and maintain analytics-ready data models (dimensional/star schemas, curated

layers, reusable views/tables).

• Build, enhance, and performance-tune dashboards and reporting in Power BI (DAX, Power

Query, semantic models) and Tableau.

• Use Python (e.g., pandas, NumPy; optional scikit-learn/statsmodels) for data wrangling,

statistical analysis, forecasting, experimentation support, and automation.

• Implement data validation and quality controls (reconciliation, anomaly checks, refresh

monitoring, metric certification).

• Develop within Microsoft Fabric using relevant components (e.g., notebooks, Dataflows

Gen2, pipelines, Lakehouse/Warehouse, semantic models) as applicable.

• Leverage Microsoft Copilot and AI tools (e.g., Copilot for Power BI/Fabric/M365 and other

approved assistants) to:

• accelerate SQL/DAX generation and refactoring,

• speed up dashboard prototyping and narrative insights,

• draft documentation and data dictionaries,

• support stakeholder Q&A and self-service enablement,

while ensuring correctness through testing and peer/stakeholder validation.

• Communicate findings clearly, create concise executive narratives, and recommend

actions backed by data.

• Maintain documentation for metric definitions, logic, lineage, and operational runbooks to

support handoff.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7 – 10+ years in data analytics/BI/consulting (or equivalent senior-level experience).

• Advanced SQL expertise (CTEs, window functions, complex joins, query tuning).

• Strong experience with SQL Server (T-SQL) and performance optimization.

• Experience with Snowflake (warehouse concepts, optimization/cost awareness, security

basics).

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse/Warehouse concepts;

pipelines/dataflows/notebooks; semantic modeling).

• Strong dashboard development skills in Power BI (DAX, modeling, performance)

and Tableau.

• Proficiency in Python for analytics and automation.

• Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted tools productively with appropriate guardrails

(validation, privacy, reproducibility).

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and independent delivery skills.
