Business Intelligence Analyst (contract)

Please note that this is a contract role providing services to Microsoft through external staffing partners of Allegis Global Solutions (AGS). If you are selected for this role, you will be employed by AGS and will not be an employee of Microsoft.

Role Overview This role is for a proactive Business Analyst who specializes in Power BI and focuses on business operations data such as finance and contracts. The person will work closely with stakeholders to understand their requirements and translate them into clear, visually polished dashboards that support decision-making. It is not a passive reporting role—the candidate is expected to independently drive conversations, bring structure to ambiguous requirements, and deliver high-quality, executive-ready insights. Strong attention to detail, storytelling through data, and dashboard design are critical, along with the ability to confidently present insights to senior stakeholders. While experience in Power BI and business-facing analytics is essential, the team is also open to candidates with slightly less experience who are proactive, eager to learn, and can demonstrate their work through a portfolio.

• Engage stakeholders regularly to refine outputs and drive adoption
• Maintain documentation and follow governance standards
