Business Intelligence Developer

DEPARTMENT

Finance

SUMMARY & OBJECTIVE

The Business Intelligence Developer builds and maintains XMA's Microsoft Power BI reporting for Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Sales, Finance and company leadership. The position is part of XMA's shared services model and is performed by an affiliated overseas partner. It reports to XMA's Controller for the reporting function, and day to day administrative supervision is provided by the partner organization.

The role is hands-on across the full reporting cycle. The Developer writes the SQL that extracts and transforms SyteLine data, designs the semantic models, builds and deploys the dashboards, automates the refreshes, and documents the logic behind each published measure. The Developer also works directly with leaders in each function to define and validate the measures they manage by, from on-time delivery, yield, utilization and inventory through to bookings, backlog, cost variances and profitability, and reconciles published reporting to XMA's established operational and financial results.

An early priority is the orderly transition of XMA's existing outsourced Tableau reporting, phased so that the reporting the business depends on is not disrupted. Information Technology remains responsible for infrastructure, security and systems administration, and functional leaders remain responsible for business definitions and for the controls their reporting supports. This position is not a general information technology resource.

Success is measured by the accuracy, timeliness and adoption of published reporting across all functions, by the quality of the documentation behind it, and by XMA's reduced dependence on outsourced report development. As the reporting environment matures, the position is expected to take on broader analytical and data platform responsibilities.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Design, build, deploy and maintain Power BI dashboards, semantic models, standard key performance indicators and automated data refreshes.

Query and model Infor SyteLine data using SQL, developing and maintaining the views, queries and transformations that support reporting.

Work with leaders in each function to define and validate operational and financial measures, and reconcile published reporting to XMA's established results.

Build and maintain operational reporting for manufacturing, supply chain and quality, covering delivery performance, production output and schedule adherence, cycle time, labor and machine utilization, scrap, rework and yield, inventory and material availability, supplier performance, and nonconformance and customer return trends.

Build and maintain financial and commercial reporting, covering bookings, backlog, revenue, standard cost variances, inventory valuation and profitability.

Document source definitions, data lineage, transformations and calculation logic so that published reporting is transparent, auditable and maintainable by another developer.

Take inventory of XMA's existing outsourced Tableau reporting and migrate prioritized capabilities to Power BI, operating reporting in parallel and reconciling results before a legacy report is retired, directing external technical resources where they are engaged to assist.

Apply data quality checks, reconciliation routines and exception monitoring so that errors are identified before the business relies on the reporting.

Maintain reporting access controls, including row level and object level security, and handle XMA data in accordance with confidentiality, data handling and export control requirements.

Maintain reporting governance, including a catalog of published measures and their definitions, change and version control, and a published refresh and availability schedule.

Maintain reporting relied upon in the operation of financial and operational controls to a standard that supports audit reliance, including documented lineage, evidence of completeness and accuracy, and controlled changes to report logic.

Build and maintain control monitoring and exception analytics for Finance and internal audit, such as duplicate and anomalous payment analysis, vendor master change monitoring, journal entry analysis and user access review.

Maintain a reporting backlog prioritized with leaders across the business, and manage competing requests transparently against agreed priorities.

Train and support report users, promote adoption of standard reporting, and reduce reliance on manually maintained spreadsheets.

Provide analysis and data extracts in support of month end close, operational and production reviews, internal and external audit requests, parent company reporting, and customer and program inquiries.

Use approved artificial intelligence and automation tools to improve query development, data modeling, documentation and analysis, with appropriate review and controls.

Coordinate with Information Technology on database access, gateway configuration, licensing, capacity and platform changes.

All other duties as assigned.
