The Senior Business Intelligence Analyst works with all levels of the organization to turn data into clear, compelling stories that drive business decisions. This position primarily builds Power BI reports and Power Platform Power Apps using data from MFA Oil's data lakehouse, with a strong emphasis on understanding the business behind the numbers and communicating insights in a way that resonates with leadership and end users. This role also contributes to the design and building of data marts in the gold layer and partners with the business to guide the adoption of data agents and Copilot capabilities, focusing on business context and validation rather than the underlying data engineering.
