Partner with investment teams to translate analytical requirements into robust data models. Contribute to modeling standards, best practices, and reusable design patterns across the organization. What We’re Looking For: Core Technical Skills Strong expertise in Snowflake data modeling for analytics and reporting use cases. Advanced SQL skills for modeling, transformation, and performance optimization in Snowflake. Deep experience with dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas, and domain‑driven design. Analytics & Consumption Experience designing data models to support Power BI, including semantic alignment and metric consistency. Familiarity with BI consumption patterns and performance considerations. Data Quality & Governance Experience implementing data validation, reconciliation, and quality frameworks. Working knowledge of metadata, lineage, and governance concepts (e.g., Purview or similar tools). Understanding of how well‑structured models support AI, search, and natural‑language analytics. Familiarity with semantic layers, business glossaries, and model discoverability.
