Senior Data Analyst — Power BI & Microsoft Fabric | Active Secret

Location: Remote — U.S.
Clearance: Active Secret

Why This Role

Rackner is seeking a Senior Data Analyst to help modernize enterprise analytics within a Microsoft data environment.

This is more than a dashboard-development role. You'll help shape the semantic models, KPI standards, reporting products, security controls, and reusable analytics foundations that enable leaders and operational teams to make trusted decisions.

Working across business stakeholders, data engineering, governance, and technical teams, you'll have the opportunity to influence how analytics products are designed, modernized, governed, and adopted across the organization.

If you've built strong Power BI solutions and are ready for broader ownership, this role offers the opportunity to influence the analytics architecture, standards, modernization strategy, and product portfolio behind those solutions—not just the final visualization.

What You'll Do

Lead the design and modernization of enterprise analytics and business intelligence solutions using Power BI and Microsoft Fabric
Shape governed semantic models, shared datasets, KPI definitions, and reusable analytical components
Build and optimize executive, operational, and compliance reporting that supports mission and business decisions
Modernize legacy reporting by evaluating usage, redundancy, technical debt, performance, and opportunities for consolidation
Standardize fragmented dashboards and reports into scalable enterprise analytics products
Develop advanced DAX measures, calculations, business logic, and Power Query transformations
Secure analytics products through row-level and object-level access controls aligned with data-governance requirements
Enable self-service analytics while maintaining appropriate security, governance, and data-quality controls
Assess Power BI licensing, capacity, and deployment approaches based on organizational needs
Translate stakeholder needs into analytical requirements, functional specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria
Partner across data engineering, governance, application, and source-system teams to move analytics products from requirements through adoption
Solve complex semantic-modeling, reporting, performance, reconciliation, and data-quality challenges
Influence analytics strategy, roadmap decisions, portfolio priorities, and reporting standards
Explore forecasting, predictive analytics, and AI-assisted analytics where they provide practical value
Support demonstrations, user acceptance testing, documentation, and adoption of analytics products

What Makes Someone Successful Here

We're most interested in candidates who can discuss specific work they personally owned, the decisions they made, and the outcomes they helped deliver. You do not need to check every box.

A strong match will bring:

Deep hands-on capability with Microsoft Power BI
Strong command of DAX and Power Query
A track record building or maintaining semantic models and governed analytical datasets
Understanding of enterprise BI architecture, KPI design, and reporting standards
Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or a comparable modern analytics platform
Ability to modernize, consolidate, or migrate reporting environments
Working knowledge of analytics security, governance, data quality, and access controls
Familiarity with row-level security or similar data-access models
Ability to translate business needs into practical, scalable analytical solutions
Strong stakeholder skills across requirements discovery, delivery, and adoption
Ability to troubleshoot analytical, modeling, performance, and data-quality issues
Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences
Active Secret clearance

Helpful, Not Required

Additional strengths may include:

Advanced Microsoft Fabric semantic-modeling work
Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate
Object-level security and enterprise Power BI governance
Dashboard portfolio rationalization or consolidation
Governed self-service analytics
Power BI licensing, capacity, or deployment strategy
Forecasting or predictive analytics
Copilot-assisted or other AI-enabled analytics capabilities
Data lineage, metadata management, or data cataloging
Federal, Department of Defense, education, or other regulated enterprise environments
