Business Intelligence

● Responsible for building decision-grade operational reporting and analysis (but not exploratory data science/research or data engineering).

● Design and maintain management reporting dashboards to track key performance indicators and operational health.

● Workflow stage definitions and gating logic

● Approval or rejection of system changes that affect data integrity

Desired Qualifications & Traits

● Systems Thinker: Possesses strong systems thinking capabilities, naturally visualizing the downstream effects of upstream changes (e.g., how a change in the Sales form affects the Production floor). They prioritize long-term scalability over short-term "hacks."

● Pragmatic Architect: Maintains a pragmatic approach to architecture, balancing "perfection with business utility." They know when to implement a rigid constraint and when to allow manual flexibility, always focused on delivering high-utility features.

● Operational Excellence Steward: Demonstrates operational discipline and the ability to define, promote, and enforce process compliance among diverse teams.
