Senior Reports Analyst

As a Senior Reports Analyst, you design, build, and maintain the reports and dashboards that organizations use to monitor performance and make decisions. You translate data into structured, repeatable reporting products that serve everyone from operational managers to executives. The senior title means you're designing reporting frameworks, optimizing report performance, and mentoring others on reporting best practices.

Your day involves building and maintaining reports. You might create a new executive dashboard in Power BI or Tableau, then optimize a slow-running SQL query that powers a daily report, then meet with a department head to understand their reporting needs, then troubleshoot why a scheduled report isn't reflecting the latest data. You need SQL proficiency, expertise in BI tools, and the design sensibility to present data clearly.

The challenge is managing the demand for reports while maintaining quality. Every department wants custom reports, and the requests never stop. You need to balance building new reports with maintaining existing ones, standardizing where possible, and pushing back when a request would be better served by existing reporting or self-service tools.
