Preferred location for this position is our Corporate Headquarters in Appleton, WI, with hybrid work options available.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Leads the design and delivery of the executive reporting portfolio in Power BI — covering revenue, client health, product usage, filing performance, and operational throughput — replacing manual extraction with governed, live dashboards used in standard leadership reviews.
• Defines, certifies, and stewards business KPIs — including KPI definitions, source traces, calculation logic, owners, and certification status — and operates the governance forum that approves new KPIs and resolves definition disputes.
• Builds and maintains analytical solutions that support the Client Experience function — including operational KPI dashboards, the client health scoring model, exception reporting, and onboarding cycle-time analytics — partnering directly with CX leadership on data product roadmap.
• Delivers analytical solutions across business domains — including sales, marketing, customer, product, operations, and finance analytics — enabling functional teams to operate from governed data rather than ad hoc extracts. Example use cases include pipeline and win/loss reporting, customer health and engagement analytics, product usage by client segment, conversion patterns, and upsell / cross-sell targeting.
• Partners with the Senior Data Engineer and Data Engineers on data product requirements — including source data needs, transformation logic, refresh cadence, and SLA definition — ensuring the data foundation produces the inputs analytical solutions require.
• Uses AI development assistants — GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and emerging agent-based tooling — as a standard part of daily analytical practice. Applies sound judgment in reviewing, validating, and securing AI-generated analytical logic, queries, and narrative output.
• Drives data literacy across the organization — through dashboard design that supports self-service exploration, structured training for business users, and partnership with the Director of Insight Engineering on the formal data literacy program for leadership and department heads.
• Mentors BI Analysts — through dashboard review, technique pairing, and knowledge sharing — and contributes to the growth of the team's analytical capability as IGEN scales the function.
• Manages stakeholder relationships across Technology, Product, Client Experience, Sales, and Marketing — running intake conversations, scoping work, presenting findings, and translating between business language and data language.
• Applies statistical methods to business analytics — including segmentation, trend analysis, distribution and outlier analysis, and forecasting — to surface insights that descriptive reporting alone cannot produce.
• Operates inside the AI governance framework developed in partnership with U.S. Venture Legal, InfoSec, Privacy, and Compliance — ensuring analytical work supports IGEN's SOC 2 Type 2 obligations and the responsible deployment of AI-assisted capabilities.
• Drives dashboard performance, refresh reliability, and cost management on the Power BI platform — including dataset optimization, incremental refresh strategy, and capacity governance.
• Continuously develops professionally — particularly in AI-assisted analytics, agentic analytical workflows, and emerging Microsoft and Azure analytics platform capabilities. Stays current as the boundary between human and agent work continues to evolve.
• Lives the company values of High Performance, Caring Relationships, Strategic Foresight, and Entrepreneurial Spirit. Champions continuous improvement and quality.
• Supports corporate efforts for safety, government compliance, and all other company policies and procedures

• Strong foundation in data modeling — conceptual and dimensional — and the ability to translate operational source data into analytical structures.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — including the ability to tailor analytical findings to executive, operational, and technical audiences.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to influence and align diverse stakeholders, build consensus on KPI definitions, and resolve scope and priority tradeoffs.
