## Description

Reporting & Power BI Ownership

 * Own the University's Power BI environment, including workspaces, permissions, publishing, and the lifecycle of existing reports.
 * Build and maintain accurate, accessible, and performant dashboards and reports for operational and leadership audiences in areas such as admissions, enrollment, retention, and finance.
 * Review existing reports and recommend which to rebuild, consolidate, or retire.

Data Modeling & Semantics

 * Build and maintain dbt models in Snowflake that turn source data into clean, documented, and tested datasets.
 * Build business logic in dbt so reports stay simple and consistent and metrics mean the same thing everywhere they appear.
 * Define and document shared metrics, business definitions, and semantic models that support both reporting and AI agents querying University data.
 * Validate data and reports, and investigate and clearly explain discrepancies.

Stakeholder Partnership

 * Scope requests directly with stakeholders by clarifying the underlying question, the metrics and definitions involved, and how the report will be used.
 * Push back constructively on unclear requirements and help stakeholders get to a better question.
 * Explain report logic and data limitations in plain language, and support adoption through training and documentation.

Standards & Governance

 * Help establish practices for data modeling, report design, documentation, and version control, and contribute to the University's emerging data governance standards.
