- Drive adoption of standards through artifacts, templates, and office hours.
- Run and participate in the BI CoE: set and evangelize standards, lead show-and-tells, publish reference models, mentor analysts, and measure CoE adoption/impact.
- Partner with data engineers, system administrators, security/compliance, and business stakeholders to align requirements, validate feasibility, and plan releases.
- Performance-tune complex SQL/DAX; review peer changes; coach on best practices.
