Data Analyst - W2 role - Remote opening

Only on W2Role: No C2CTitle/Level: Data AnalystLocation: Chicago, IL (Remote)Duration: 6 months (20 hours per week - 4x5)1. Project OverviewThe purpose of the Dispute Modeling Engine (DME) will be to provide a granular view into historical usage data and will support analysts when reviewing disputes submitted by the customer. The DME will identify changes (both internally and directly on the customer's instance) that may have occurred that are impacting usage and subsequently, quantify a valid credit amount.The DME will leverage AI to provide key insights into the data such as changes that have occurred, identifying anomalies, etc. 2. Technical EnvironmentData Source: Snowflake (various tables extracted from customer's instance as well as internally managed tables)Visualization Tool: Power BI• AI Integration: Snowflake Cortex AI include AI summarization of changesData Modeling & Integration• Connect Power BI to Snowflake efficiently• Optimize queries and warehouse performance. • Create semantic models and reusable datasets.• Integrate AI tools into dashboardDashboard Development• Develop dashboard that dynamically changes visuals and data sources based on products selected• Implement an interactive dashboard that breaks out details by product type along with drill-through and filter capabilities. • Establish consistent visual design, KPI cards, and navigation. • Integrate AI capabilities that can assess data from various tables to provide key insights on data in a dashboardCortex AI Integration• Incorporate AI Summarization of changes• Implement natural language Q&A or conversational insights using Cortex LLM features.• Automate anomaly or trend detection. Performance Optimization• Ensure efficient load times, DAX optimization, and query performance. • Set up caching, incremental refresh, or performance monitoring. Documentation & Knowledge Transfer• Provide clear technical documentation (data model, DAX logic, AI pipelines). • Conduct knowledge transfer or walkthrough sessions.
