About the Role

We’re looking for a Reporting Analyst to play a key role in our Business Intelligence migration journey. This is a unique opportunity to help decommission legacy reporting tools (IBM Cognos, Excel ODBC) and transition our organization into a modern reporting environment with Google Looker.

  • Cognos Rationalization: Catalog, assess, and streamline existing reports and dashboards.
  • Excel ODBC Migration: Transition ERP-linked Excel reports into Looker, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
  • Ad Hoc Reporting: Deliver timely reports in Cognos during the transition phase.
  • Looker Development: Design and implement modern dashboards and templates in Looker.
  • Quality Assurance: Validate migrated reports, conduct UAT, and incorporate feedback.
  • Governance & Compliance: Uphold data governance, security, and compliance standards.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of BI reporting and analytics experience.
  • Strong expertise in IBM Cognos Analytics (authoring & administration).
  • Hands-on experience with Google Looker (LookML, dashboard design).
  • Solid SQL and data modeling skills.
  • Proficiency in Excel, PowerQuery, and data extraction.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation abilities.


Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a transformational BI project impacting enterprise-wide reporting.
  • Work fully remote from anywhere in Canada.
  • Collaborate with a forward-thinking team embracing modern data practices.
  • Gain valuable experience in migration and modernization projects.
