Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Power BI Subject Matter Expert who knows Power BI inside out. You will be the go-to technical authority on data modeling, DAX, performance, and governance, while still building solutions yourself. You will solve the hardest Power BI problems across enterprise engagements and guide developers on best practices. Experience with Microsoft Fabric is a solid advantage as clients increasingly adopt it.

Key Responsibilities:

Design & Development

- Build complex, enterprise-scale semantic models using star-schema design and advanced DAX (calculation groups, field parameters, time intelligence, dynamic formatting).
- Develop high-quality reports with strong UX, drill-through, bookmarks, tooltips, and custom visuals where needed.
- Write Power Query (M) and SQL for data preparation and transformation.
- Choose the right storage mode (Import, DirectQuery, Composite) based on scale, latency, and cost.

Performance & Optimization





- Diagnose and tune slow models and reports using DAX Studio, Tabular Editor, VertiPaq Analyzer, and Performance Analyzer.
- Optimize refresh strategies, including incremental refresh, partitioning, and aggregations.

Governance, Security & Administration

- Implement RLS/OLS, workspace strategy, and access controls.
- Manage Power BI Service: gateways, scheduled refresh, apps, sensitivity labels, endorsement, and lineage.
- Set up deployment pipelines and version control for Power BI artifacts (PBIP, TMDL).

Leadership & Enablement

- Act as the escalation point for complex Power BI issues across projects.
- Conduct model and report reviews, and contribute to development standards and best practices.
- Mentor developers and advise clients on Power BI adoption and roadmap, including Copilot in Power BI.
- Support clients adopting Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Direct Lake, OneLake) where applicable.
