Experience preparing data for dashboards, reporting, visualization, and stakeholder consumption
Working knowledge of SQL and related data querying techniques

Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills

Preferred:

Experience with both Databricks and Microsoft Fabric
Familiarity with Lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, or similar modern data platform technologies
Experience with Python or other programming languages used for data engineering and automation
Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar dashboard and visualization platforms

Experience with data governance frameworks and enterprise data management
Esri/ArcGIS mapping, geospatial analytics, or location intelligence experience
Previous experience supporting enterprise clients, consulting engagements, or client-facing analytics initiatives
Experience working with AI-enabled tools or emerging analytics technologies

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
