About XP3R

XP3R is a fast-growing data and technology consulting firm that helps organizations unlock the power of data, analytics, AI, and technology to make smarter & faster decisions. We partner with clients to turn complex data into actionable insights that drive better decisions and measurable results, and encapsulate data & insights into custom-tooling for interactivity and visibility.

What makes us different is how we work; we combine structure with curiosity, and strategy with execution. We move fast and focus on value-adding outcomes, and we don’t back down from any challenge. Our team is made up of builders, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners who love the challenge of transforming ambiguity into clarity. At XP3R, you’ll have the freedom to experiment, the support to grow, and the opportunity to make an impact that’s visible from day one. We’re a small, ambitious team, and every hire has a direct impact on how we grow.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst + Engineer who thrives at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. This is not a “back-office dashboard role”, you’ll be engaging directly with clients, advising on business strategy, and then building the technical solutions that bring it to life. This role requires a deep fundamental understanding of data, data modeling, and data architecture. You will be expected to design & build with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI and to both consult and deliver. You’ll lead the full lifecycle: data sourcing, modeling, pipelines, dashboards, and business alignment.

What You’ll Do

Partner with clients to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions.

Design and implement data models by combining data + business knowledge that align with client requirements and scale effectively.

Lead data sourcing and requirements gathering, including working with APIs, exploratory analysis, and integrating disparate data systems.

Build and maintain Fabric ETL pipelines (Dataflow Gen2, PySpark notebooks, data pipelines).

Develop and optimize Power BI dashboards, including advanced DAX, calculation groups, and data visualization best practices.

Create dashboard mockups and prototypes to guide client conversations before implementation.

Design & stand up systems to enforce data validations and QA/QC in Microsoft Fabric.

Collaborate with leadership to define solution architecture — and ideally, take the lead on designing architecture yourself.

Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, bridging technical expertise with business insights.

Mentor junior team members and raise the standard of technical excellence across XP3R.

What We’re Looking For

At XP3R, we look for people who blend technical mastery with strategic insight. You’re someone who can move seamlessly between data modeling and client conversations, transforming complex challenges into clear, scalable solutions. We value leaders who stay curious, think critically, and take ownership of outcomes from concept to delivery.The right person will combine technical depth with business presence:

Technically Excellent – You are rooted in the technical, and have a knack for being able to figure things out to drive implementation and delivery of work product. You’re experience allows you to build high quality product fast; exposure to SQL, Python, R, Power BI, or similar tools is required.

Owns the Work – You take initiative, explore solutions, and learn new tools without waiting for direction. You take ownership of work & hold yourself accountable for delivery.

Entrepreneurial by Nature – You’re motivated by challenge and want to help build something meaningful, not just maintain it.

Quick to Learn – You adapt fast, connect ideas quickly, and enjoy turning new knowledge into action. You excel at switching between different contexts & tasks and pick up skills as you go.
