About The Position

DMBA (Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators), a nonprofit organization that administers benefits for companies owned or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Power BI Architect / Senior Engineer to establish and mature an early-stage enterprise Power BI environment. This is a 12-month contract position with the potential for a 12-month extension. The role follows a hybrid schedule, with required in-office work on Mondays and Tuesdays. The position provides technical leadership across Power BI architecture, administration, configuration, security, development practices, and deployment.
