Summary
As the Analytics Platforms Analyst, you will strengthen how Simplot works with data to improve decisions and make work more efficient. You will enable business users to build and use reports, dashboards, and data models in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric that are secure, efficient, and built on trusted data.
You will partner with business users and IT data engineering to define use cases, recommend the right tools and architecture, and co-develop solutions.

You will also evaluate new Power BI and Fabric capabilities, including embedded Copilot features, and determine which are ready and valuable for Simplot.
This work is shared across a small team, and no one is expected to be an expert in every area. What matters most is curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to keep learning as the technology changes quickly.
