Senior Business Intelligence Developer

 

OVERVIEW

Releady is partnering with one of the largest independently owned licensees of the top-selling furniture brand in North America. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in South Carolina, the company operates 38 retail locations and multiple distribution centers across the Southeast, the Inland Northwest, and northern New England, and is executing an aggressive multi-year national growth plan.

This engagement is for a Senior Business Intelligence Developer who will turn the company's data into decisions leadership can act on. The consultant partners directly with business leaders across retail, supply chain, finance, and customer experience to understand what they are trying to solve, then designs, builds, and delivers the reports and analytical models that answer it. The work spans requirements gathering, report and cube development, user acceptance testing, and end-user enablement, and includes consolidating duplicative reporting so that a single, consistent set of numbers is used company-wide.

The environment is a Microsoft on-premise business intelligence stack, and the consultant is expected to know the underlying data warehouse in depth so they can answer anything from a quick ad hoc question to a large information project.
