Power BI Performance Analyst
Our client in the public transportation space is seeking a Power BI and Excel ‘guru’ to assist in the enhancement and further development of their PMO dashboards. Exceptional abilities in Power BI and excel are required to supplement the existing Performance Analyst skills and abilities.
The ideal candidate will be someone who is very well versed in working with raw financial data and presenting insights from it to senior leadership through the use of Excel and Power BI dashboards. If the candidate has experience specifically supporting a PMO and managing reporting for such a group, this will set the candidate apart.  

Our client is looking for more of a performance analyst role. Someone with advanced developer skills with PowerBI and complex Excel skills. This department relies heavily on Power BI and their existing dashboards to both inform their leadership on current status but to also help drive decision-making and then track the results of those decisions. We are seeking a good developer who will build dashboards that are intuitive in nature and engaging so that our leadership can self-serve and understand what they are seeing.

We are seeking someone to help us optimize the performance of our existing dashboards as well as build new ones. Someone who is very focused on the User Experience and can build reports that are not only useful, but dynamic and engaging will do well in this role.
