THIS IS A 6 month CONTRACT TO HIRE OPPORTUNITY


Lead BI & Analytics Developer | Power BI & Dynamics


The Mission: We are navigating a high-stakes CRM transformation (Salesforce to Microsoft Dynamics). We need a Technical Player-Coach to lead a lean, high-impact team of ~7 developers. Your goal: move the team from ad-hoc reporting to a mature, enterprise-grade BI engine while navigating a rapid 6-month delivery window.

The Role: You are the technical "anchor." While you won’t have heavy administrative people-management duties, you will own the delivery quality, architectural standards, and technical growth of your reports.


The Impact You’ll Make

  • Technical Stewardship: Lead a team of <7 developers by example—conducting code reviews, defining DAX standards, and troubleshooting complex performance bottlenecks.
  • Architectural Guardrail: Design resilient Star Schemas and semantic layers that protect our reporting from the "noise" of an active CRM migration.
  • Delivery Ownership: Act as the bridge between business stakeholders and your dev team, translating ambiguous requirements into high-performance Power BI solutions.
  • Governance Lead: Eliminate "metric drift" by establishing certified datasets and a single source of truth for enterprise KPIs.


What You Bring

  • 8+ Years in BI: Extensive experience in the Power Platform ecosystem (Power BI/Power Apps).
  • Lean Team Leadership: Proven ability to mentor a small group of developers, setting the "how" and "why" behind development best practices.
  • Data Modeling Mastery: Deep expertise in dimensional modeling (Fact/Dimension tables), SQL, and semantic layer management.
  • Migration Savvy: Experience with Microsoft Dynamics or large-scale CRM migrations is a significant advantage.
  • Execution Focus: You thrive in fast-paced environments and can drive a team toward a firm 6-month UAT milestone.


Why Join?

This is the perfect role for a Senior Developer who wants high architectural influence and team leadership without the burden of traditional corporate middle management. You own the tech, you build the team, and you drive the transformation.
