Business Intelligence Report Developer

Job Summary The Business Intelligence Report Developer builds Power BI reports and dashboards that turn data into useful information for stakeholders across the Inspire Brands portfolio, including Dunkin’, Arby’s, Sonic, Jimmy John’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Baskin Robbins. This role partners closely with the data modeling team to take the semantic models they produce and surface them through reports that restaurant operators, franchisees, brand teams, and the Support Center can use day to day. The developer translates business questions from each audience into Power BI visuals, pages, and reports that answer those questions clearly. The work supports more than 22,000 restaurants, so reports must be reliable, fast, and easy to read on the first try. The developer is responsible for the look, layout, interactivity, and overall user experience of every report they ship. Day to day, this person writes DAX, builds visuals, configures filters and bookmarks, applies row level security, and publishes content to the Power BI service. The role requires close collaboration with model developers, business analysts, and stakeholder groups to gather requirements, share drafts, and refine the final product. Success is measured by the adoption of the reports they produce and the quality of the decisions those reports help our brands and franchisees make.
