Enterprise Power BI | Microsoft Fabric | Capacity Management | Governance | Azure

Hire Elevation Resources is seeking an experienced Power BI / Microsoft Fabric Administrator to take ownership of the operational health, security, governance, and performance of its enterprise Power BI and Microsoft Fabric environment.

This is a true platform administration role — not a Power BI report or dashboard development position.

We are looking for someone who understands what happens behind the scenes of a large Power BI/Fabric environment: capacities, workspaces, gateways, refreshes, security, governance, deployment controls, monitoring, and performance.

Just as importantly, this person needs to take ownership of the environment. The right administrator isn't waiting for someone to tell them there's a problem — they're monitoring the platform, identifying unusual activity or risks, investigating what caused them, and proactively bringing recommendations to the team.

What You'll Own

• Administer and monitor an enterprise Microsoft Power BI and Fabric environment
• Manage Fabric capacities, workspaces, domains, tenant settings, and security
• Monitor Capacity Unit (CU) consumption , utilization trends, throttling, and performance
• Investigate unusual capacity spikes and identify the reports, processes, or workloads responsible
• Monitor refreshes, processing activity, gateways, and overall platform health
• Administer and maintain Power BI gateways , including coordinating upgrades and maintenance during appropriate processing windows
• Manage OneLake access, security groups, and role-based permissions
• Support RBAC, RLS, OLS, and enterprise security standards
• Maintain strong governance across the Power BI/Fabric environment
• Identify stale, unused, or unnecessary content and coordinate environment cleanup
• Help ensure appropriate controls across Dev/Test/Production environments
• Monitor issues using tools such as Fabric Monitoring Hub and Azure Monitor
• Identify platform risks and proactively communicate recommendations to technical and business stakeholders
• Partner with BI analysts, data teams, release teams, cloud engineering, and security teams to resolve issues
• Provide backup support for controlled dashboard/report releases when needed
• Support CI/CD and administrative automation using technologies such as Azure DevOps, Git, PowerShell, and Microsoft Admin APIs

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience supporting enterprise data, analytics, cloud, or BI platforms
• Strong hands-on experience administering Microsoft Power BI in an enterprise environment
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric and a strong understanding of Fabric administration
• Experience managing a meaningful number of Power BI/Fabric workspaces, users, capacities, and governed deployments
• Strong understanding of Power BI/Fabric capacity management and performance monitoring
• Experience administering and troubleshooting Power BI gateways and data refreshes
• Understanding of Power BI/Fabric security, including RBAC, RLS and OLS
• Experience working within controlled Dev/Test/Prod release environments
• Working knowledge of Azure administration, security, monitoring, and cost management
• Understanding of enterprise data governance and security practices
• PowerShell and/or administrative automation experience
• Ability to troubleshoot complex platform issues and determine root cause
• Experience supporting large, governed enterprise environments

The Person Who Will Thrive Here

This position requires someone who is highly self-directed, accountable, curious, and proactive .

You should be the type of administrator who naturally asks:

• Why did capacity usage spike yesterday?
• Which workload caused it?
• Why did this refresh fail?
• Is this workspace still being used?
• Are permissions configured appropriately?
• Is something being deployed that could create a security or performance risk?
• What can we clean up or optimize before it becomes a problem?

This isn't a role where you'll receive a queue of tasks and simply work through them. You'll be trusted to own the health of the environment , recognize potential issues, and bring those issues and recommendations to the appropriate teams.

Preferred Experience

• Microsoft Fabric administration in a large production environment
• Power BI Premium/Fabric capacity administration
• OneLake
• Azure DevOps and Git
• PowerShell and Power BI/Fabric Admin APIs
• CI/CD pipelines
• Infrastructure-as-Code technologies such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM
• Microsoft Purview or related data governance technologies
• Healthcare or other highly regulated enterprise environments
• HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance frameworks
• Relevant Microsoft certifications

Important Distinction

This is not primarily a Power BI development role.

While an understanding of Power BI development is valuable, we are specifically looking for someone whose experience includes administering and governing the Power BI/Fabric platform itself .

If your background has included ownership of capacities, workspaces, gateways, tenant administration, security, refresh monitoring, performance, governance, and enterprise deployment controls, we'd like to hear from you.
