Hiring Manager
Ricardo Lopez
Responsibilities
Own, build, and maintain Power BI semantic models used across departments
Design robust tabular models using expert modeling practices: (star schema, conformed dimensions, indexes, date tables, etc.)
Enforce clean relationship design: one-to-many, single-direction by default
Build a governed semantic layer that scales: curated field list, consistent naming, consistent formatting, and measure-first design
Establish naming standards (measures, tables, and columns) so metrics are discoverable and reusable (clear measure names, consistent prefixes, standardized time-intelligence naming)
Use Tabular Editor to manage model metadata at apply/maintain Best Practice Analyzer (BPA) rules across models and environments
Write, review, and optimize DAX for correctness and performance
Proactively optimize VertiPaq performance: ensure model design supports compression and fast scans
Drive performance investigations using the right tooling and workflow: Power BI Performance Analyzer, DAX Studio, VertiPaq Analyzer, and targeted model/DAX refactors
Own refresh and model scalability strategies (incremental refresh, query folding awareness, and refresh SLA management) in partnership with the data team
Build reports that are visually pleasing & operationally usable: clear information hierarchy, intuitive navigation, and visuals that answer real business questions (not just 'show data')
Promote sustainable report architecture using thin-reports, reducing metric drift and simplifying maintenance
Establish reusable templates and interaction standards (tooltips, drill through, bookmarks where needed, consistent layouts) so reporting feels cohesive and professional across the organization
Design for self-service: reports that guide users toward the right interpretation via curated measures, consistent definitions, and intentional UX
Own workspace strategy and lifecycle: environment separation (dev/test/prod), controlled release practices, and disciplined change management for shared datasets
Implement and maintain security correctly at scale: RLS/OLS aligned with business governance
Drive semantic model governance: dataset certification/endorsement strategy, usage monitoring, clear ownership, and versioning practices that protect company-wide trust in metrics
Establish operational standards for reliability: refresh monitoring, failure triage, stakeholder communication, and documented runbooks for critical reporting assets
Partner with Analytics Engineers to ensure DBT marts (tables) are PBI ready
Provide strong feedback loops upstream when model design choices create BI complexity
Help enforce a consistent source of truth & ubiquitous language across DBT and Power BI—aligned naming, aligned definitions, and minimized metric drift across domains
Own and maintain a governed data dictionary for each 'gold' semantic model (metric definitions, DAX logic, grain, refresh cadence, known caveats, and ownership)
Lead Power BI adoption through practical enablement: documentation, office hours, training sessions, and 'gold path' guidance that teaches teams how to use the semantic layers correctly and consistently
Act as a primary point of contact for end users—answering questions, resolving confusion around metrics, and guiding stakeholders to the right datasets/measures
Coach business users on effective Power BI and Excel usage
Qualification
Required
3+ years of hands-on Power BI experience building and maintaining production dashboards and semantic models
Experience establishing consistent metric definitions and a shared business language through a governed semantic layer
Expert in DAX (measure design, evaluation context, time intelligence, performance)
Strong Power BI modeling skills (star schema, relationships, cardinality, etc.)
Deep familiarity with Power BI permissions and governance (workspaces, apps, audiences, RLS, OLS, sharing)
Strong experience maintaining shared semantic models used across multiple teams and reporting surfaces
Experience with Power BI operational best practices (refresh strategy, incremental refresh, dataset performance tuning)
Familiarity with Tabular Editor (measure management, calculation groups, BPA, OLS, etc.)
Working proficiency in SQL and comfort validating logic against a modern data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery)
Strong communication skills—able to translate business questions into well-modeled semantic logic and clear reporting
Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively across functional teams
Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn, adapt, and continuously improve
Demonstrated ability to execute efficiently and effectively
Preferred
Experience partnering with Analytics Engineers using DBT and modern warehouse modeling practices
Familiarity with programmatic Power BI administration and automation using XMLA endpoints and/or PowerShell (e.g., dataset management, deployments, refresh, and metadata-driven workflows)
Familiarity with Domain Driven Design concepts
Experience supporting both operational reporting and experimentation/measurement reporting
