* Perform data analysis and validation:
* Analyze data for quality/completeness
* Validate data marts and dashboards against source systems
* Implement and document business rules and processes
* Create and execute test cases for data and reporting requirements
* Troubleshoot data, dashboards, and reporting issues; respond to investigation requests.
* Elicit and document requirements for data marts, dashboards, and reporting.
* Create technical and end-user documentation; train users on Looker capabilities and best practices.
* Apply appropriate handling of sensitive data, including recognizing and masking **PII**.
* Take on team leadership activities as needed (mentoring, task assignment, code reviews, prioritization).
* Strong **SQL Server** skills: SQL/T-SQL, views, CTEs, functions, stored procedures.
* Strong **Google Looker** experience, including:
* LookML modeling
* Tool administration and user attributes
* Dashboard design and correct visualization selection
* Merge queries and performance tuning
* Ability to train both technical and non-technical users

* Proven troubleshooting and root-cause analysis ability.
* Excellent communication skills—able to translate business needs into technical requirements and explain technical concepts clearly.
* Detail-oriented, self-directed, quick to learn new systems, and team-oriented.
### Nice to Have
* Experience assisting with **data mart design** and data validation frameworks.
* Prior lead/mentor experience in BI or analytics teams.
### What Success Looks Like
* Reliable, accurate dashboards and reports that reconcile to source data.
* Well-structured Looker models and dashboards that perform efficiently and are easy for users to navigate.
