Power BI / Microsoft Fabric Administrator

Fully Remote | Full-Time/Eastern or Central Time Zone

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Power BI / Microsoft Fabric Administrator to own and operate an enterprise analytics platform built on Microsoft Fabric. This role is not focused on report or dashboard development; instead, it centers on platform administration, environment management, governance, security, and operational excellence across development, test, and production environments. The ideal candidate brings deep hands‑on experience managing Fabric and Power BI at scale and acts as the connective tissue between business stakeholders, data teams, and cloud engineering. You will ensure the analytics ecosystem is secure, scalable, cost‑effective, and aligned with enterprise standards.

Important Note for Applicants

Power BI and Fabric administration, governance, and platform operations are the focus of this role. Candidates whose primary experience is dashboard or report development only will not be a fit.

• Monitor platform health using Fabric Monitoring Hub, Azure Monitor, and security tooling
• Optimize capacity utilization, scaling strategies, and cost controls
• Proactively identify performance bottlenecks and operational risks

Release Management, CI/CD & Automation

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Power BI and Fabric artifacts using Azure DevOps or GitHub
• Manage version control and release processes across environments
• Automate administrative tasks using PowerShell, Admin APIs, and scripting
• Support controlled deployments and rollback strategies

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Serve as a trusted advisor to analytics, data engineering, and business teams
• Translate business needs into platform standards and operational solutions
• Provide guidance and best practices for enterprise Power BI and Fabric usage

• Proven experience with data governance, security models, and cloud cost management
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
• Ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Azure DevOps, Git, and CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with Infrastructure‑as‑Code (ARM, Bicep, Terraform)
• Exposure to enterprise‑scale data platforms (data lakes, lakehouses, data mesh)
• Experience supporting regulated environments (e.g., healthcare, finance, or other compliance‑driven industries)
