Position Summary:
The Business Intelligence Developer/Analyst is responsible for the Company's enterprise reporting, budgeting, and forecasting solutions from end-to-end, from gathering business requirements through building and supporting the finished reports, dashboards, and planning models. This role blends business analysis with hands-on technical development by understanding what the business needs, designing the data model or report to deliver it, and building it directly.
The Company currently uses IBM Cognos and TM1 for enterprise reporting and forecasting, and is transitioning to Phocas, a cloud-based platform for BI, budgeting, and forecasting. Cognos will remain in place during the transition, so this role will maintain and support existing Cognos/TM1 reports and models while leading the build-out of new solutions in Phocas. This position is suited to someone who enjoys working directly with business stakeholders to understand their needs and is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to build the report, cube, or planning model themselves and becoming the organization's go-to expert across our reporting and planning tool stack.

- Work with business users to thoroughly identify and document business requirements, ensuring all impacts of solutions are understood, and risks have been identified.

- Query the database, retrieve, and manipulate data for the business.
- Support the organization by resolving complex issues and researching impact to other departments or systems.
- Identify and evaluate opportunities to incorporate AI tools, automation, and intelligent capabilities into business processes and system solutions and translate these opportunities into clear, actionable requirements for the development team.
- Collaborate with IT and business stakeholders to help define, prioritize, and support the integration of AI-enabled features into our products and workflows.
- Other duties as assigned.
