Role Overview

We are looking for a Sigma BI Lead to own the end-to-end delivery of governed business intelligence solutions using Sigma Computing and Snowflake.

The role will be responsible for Sigma BI architecture, dashboard design standards, development governance, certification, migration, security, and rollout. The Sigma BI Lead will remain hands-on with Sigma, build complex workbooks, review developer deliverables, establish reusable patterns, and mentor the BI development team.

The role will work closely with Data Platform, Governance, Data Engineering, QA, business stakeholders, and leadership teams to ensure that dashboards consistently consume certified Snowflake Consumer Serving Models, BI Thin Views, and approved semantic metrics.

The core principle of the role is that Sigma dashboards should present enterprise-approved business truth rather than independently redefine business logic or KPIs.

Key Responsibilities

Sigma BI Architecture & Delivery

• Own the overall Sigma BI solution architecture, workspace structure, folder model, reusable workbook patterns, publishing workflow, and governed release standards.

• Define and maintain standards for Sigma workbook design, development, publishing, sharing, scheduling, security, and lifecycle management.

• Remain hands-on in Sigma and develop complex workbooks and dashboards for enterprise use cases.

• Establish reusable dashboard components, templates, interaction patterns, and visualization standards.

• Review Sigma developer outputs and provide technical and design guidance to ensure consistency and quality.

• Define and maintain BI development and certification checklists.

• Establish dashboard performance, usability, quality, and cost standards.

Business & Persona-Aligned Analytics

• Understand the analytical requirements of personas across Underwriting, Risk, Treasury, Finance, Sales/Growth, Operations, and Executive leadership.

• Translate business and persona requirements into a prioritized BI roadmap, delivery backlog, and dashboard rationalization plan.

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand decision-making workflows and translate them into intuitive analytical journeys.

• Ensure dashboards provide clear executive storytelling while maintaining data accuracy and governance.

Data Governance & Semantic Layer

• Enforce exclusive consumption of approved Snowflake Consumer Serving Models, BI Thin Views, and certified semantic metrics.

• Ensure dashboard developers do not introduce parallel or unapproved business logic within Sigma.

• Work closely with the Data Platform and Governance teams to ensure alignment with enterprise data definitions and certified KPIs.

• Validate that dashboards correctly reflect approved data grain, metrics, dimensions, filters, and aggregations.

• Partner with governance stakeholders to establish and maintain appropriate data access and publishing standards.

• Remain accountable for the technical quality of the team's Sigma deliverables while continuing to contribute hands-on.

Stakeholder & Delivery Management

• Work closely with business stakeholders, Data Engineering, Data Platform, Governance, QA, and project leadership.

• Own delivery planning, prioritization, stakeholder reviews, certification, and release coordination for Sigma BI initiatives.

• Challenge business, governance, and engineering decisions when they may impact data accuracy, governance, usability, or delivery quality.

• Coordinate phased releases and ensure production readiness before dashboard rollout.

• Support user training, enablement, adoption, and feedback initiatives.
