This is a true platform administration role — not a Power BI report or dashboard development position. We are looking for someone who understands what happens behind the scenes of a large Power BI/Fabric environment: capacities, workspaces, gateways, refreshes, security, governance, deployment controls, monitoring, and performance. Just as importantly, this person needs to take ownership of the environment. The right administrator isn't waiting for someone to tell them there's a problem — they're monitoring the platform, identifying unusual activity or risks, investigating what caused them, and proactively bringing recommendations to the team. What You'll Own Administer and monitor an enterprise Microsoft Power BI and Fabric environment Manage Fabric capacities, workspaces, domains, tenant settings, and security Monitor Capacity Unit (CU) consumption, utilization trends, throttling, and performance Investigate unusual capacity spikes and identify the reports, processes, or workloads responsible Monitor refreshes, processing activity, gateways, and overall platform health Administer and maintain Power BI gateways, including coordinating upgrades and maintenance during appropriate processing windows Manage One Lake access, security groups, and role-based permissions Support RBAC, RLS, OLS, and enterprise security standards Maintain strong governance across the Power BI/Fabric environment Identify stale, unused, or unnecessary content and coordinate environment cleanup Help ensure appropriate controls across Dev/Test/Production environments Monitor issues using tools such as Fabric Monitoring Hub and Azure Monitor Identify platform risks and proactively communicate recommendations to technical and business stakeholders Partner with BI analysts, data teams, release teams, cloud engineering, and security teams to resolve issues Provide backup support for controlled dashboard/report releases when needed Support CI/CD and administrative automation using technologies such as Azure Dev Ops, Git, Power Shell, and Microsoft Admin APIsWhat We're Looking For 5+ years of experience supporting enterprise data, analytics, cloud, or BI platforms Strong hands-on experience administering Microsoft Power BI in an enterprise environment Experience with Microsoft Fabric and a strong understanding of Fabric administration Experience managing a meaningful number of Power BI/Fabric workspaces, users, capacities, and governed deployments Strong understanding of Power BI/Fabric capacity management and performance monitoring Experience administering and troubleshooting Power BI gateways and data refreshes Understanding of Power BI/Fabric security, including RBAC, RLS and OLSExperience working within controlled Dev/Test/Prod release environments Working knowledge of Azure administration, security, monitoring, and cost management Understanding of enterprise data governance and security practices Power Shell and/or administrative automation experience Ability to troubleshoot complex platform issues and determine root cause Experience supporting large, governed enterprise environments The Person Who Will Thrive Here This position requires someone who is highly self-directed, accountable, curious, and proactive. You should be the type of administrator who naturally asks: Why did capacity usage spike yesterday? Which workload caused it? Why did this refresh fail? Is this workspace still being used? Are permissions configured appropriately? Is something being deployed that could create a security or performance risk? What can we clean up or optimize before it becomes a problem? This isn't a role where you'll receive a queue of tasks and simply work through them. You'll be trusted to own the health of the environment, recognize potential issues, and bring those issues and recommendations to the appropriate teams.
