Job Description:

Role purpose

The Business Intelligence Platform Manager is the operational owner of the organization’s enterprise BI platform(s). The role executes the governance and operating model established by Business Process Optimization and is responsible for day-to-day platform administration, solution development, data troubleshooting, security, lifecycle management, user enablement, and continuous improvement.

This is a hands-on manager-level position for a technically strong BI professional who can translate business requirements into scalable workflows, datasets, dashboards, and reports while coordinating with Finance, Enterprise Data, IT, and business stakeholders.

Role distinction 

The Business Process Optimization Director owns enterprise BI strategy, governance direction, prioritization, and executive alignment. The BI Platform Manager turns that strategy into reliable day-to-day execution and measurable operational outcomes. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

What this role owns

Platform Administration & Reliability

• Administer enterprise BI platform settings, environments, licenses, users, groups, roles, permissions, and access controls.

• Monitor platform health, dataset refreshes, connectors, APIs, dataflows, capacity, storage, and performance.

• Coordinate incident response and restore service when platform, integration, or refresh issues occur.

BI Solution Architecture & Development

• Architect scalable BI workflows, dataflows, semantic structures, dashboards, reports, alerts, and reusable components.
• Translate operational requirements into intuitive solutions that support decision-making and reduce manual work.

• Develop and enhance dashboards and reports using sound visualization, usability, performance, and accessibility practices.

Data Quality & Troubleshooting

• Investigate discrepancies, failed refreshes, incomplete data, connector errors, transformation issues, and unexpected report results.

• Trace issues across source systems, ODH/Synapse, integrations, platform transformations, and front-end calculations.

• Partner with Enterprise Data, IT, Finance, and source-system owners to resolve root causes and validate corrected outputs.

Governance & Lifecycle Management

• Execute standards for naming, ownership, certification, documentation, security, development, promotion, publishing, archival, and retirement.

• Maintain asset inventories, lineage, business and technical ownership, usage information, and certification status.

• Identify duplicate, inactive, obsolete, ownerless, or high-risk assets and coordinate remediation or retirement.

Business Partnership & Enablement

• Gather and clarify requirements, recommend appropriate solutions, and communicate trade-offs to business stakeholders.

• Provide office hours, training, job aids, templates, and guidance for viewers, creators, and power users.

• Promote responsible self-service while ensuring enterprise standards and ownership requirements are followed.

Release Management & Security

• Coordinate testing, validation, promotion, and communication for platform releases and solution deployments.

• Apply role-based access, privacy, segregation-of-duty, and external-sharing controls in partnership with IT and business owners.

• Maintain clear DEV / TEST / PROD or equivalent promotion processes and rollback procedures.

Continuous Improvement & Operational Reporting

• Identify opportunities to improve performance, automate recurring work, simplify workflows, reduce technical debt, and strengthen user experience.

• Maintain the BI Operational Scorecard, including reliability, governance, adoption, data alignment, and business-value measures.
• Use platform telemetry, stakeholder feedback, incident trends, and usage patterns to recommend and execute improvements.
