We are seeking a highly versatile, full-spectrum analytics professional to serve as a strategic problem-solver and internal innovation catalyst. The Senior Solutions Developer role goes beyond traditional analytics or development - this individual will operate as a cross-functional "analytics SWAT team," capable of rapidly diagnosing business challenges, architecting solutions, and delivering end-to-end outcomes across data engineering, analytics, and application development.

The ideal candidate is a true "Jack of all trades" across the data lifecycle - equally comfortable designing data models, building ETL pipelines, developing tools, creating dashboards, and performing advanced analytics. They are comfortable working in ambiguous, unstructured environments and proactively identify opportunities to deliver value ahead of formally defined requirements.

• Act as an internal analytics SWAT team member to rapidly respond to complex, undefined, or emerging business problems
• Continuously innovate by identifying new ways to solve problems and improve outcomes
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences
• Operate with autonomy and ownership, taking initiative with minimal direction
• Adapt quickly to ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving business needs
• Develop solutions for problems that are not yet fully articulated or understood
• Connect disparate data sources, systems, and processes across a broad analytics ecosystem to uncover insights, identify patterns, and drive end-to-end decision-making
• Proactively identify inefficiencies, gaps, and opportunities to design and implement innovative solutions
• Translate loosely defined business needs into technical designs and working solutions
• Rapidly prototype, iterate, and refine solutions in a nimble development environment
• Design and deliver intuitive Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions that drive actionable insights
• Operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving environments with limited or informal requirements
• Design and build databases, data models, and optimized queries
• Develop and manage ETL processes
• Build and maintain scalable data structures, ETL processes, data pipelines and automated workflows
• Write application code to support analytics tools and interfaces
• Use structured, analytical thinking to break down and solve complex challenges

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
