About this role
POSITION OVERVIEW
We're consolidating analytics onto a single SQL Server database that sits right alongside our lending systems, and you'll own it end to end: what lands in it, how it's modeled, and the reporting that runs off it. The goal is self-service — governed tables, a real data dictionary, and published models so that most questions answer themselves. When someone does need you directly, the result should be a reusable asset, not a one-off number.
This is a hands-on job for someone who likes to finish things and keep them running. You'll inherit a working platform and a team that has already solved the hard migration problems. From there, the work is new sources, shared definitions, better distribution, and a roadmap you help write.
