The position holder will act as a lead developer and internal consultant, translating complex, ambiguous business needs from senior leaders into sophisticated, scalable insights using the Microsoft Fabric, Power BI ecosystem as well as other Power Platforms.
This role requires end-to-end ownership of the analytics project lifecycle—from strategic need-finding and solution architecture to development, execution, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is a deeply technical data professional with strong project management discipline who will also champion the team's automation and AI capabilities.

Domain Application – People Analytics & Reward: Apply the above technical capabilities within the People function, with emphasis on reward analytics, compensation and benefits optimization, pay equity and transparency reporting, payroll automation, and workforce cost insights.
