Data Analyst

Provide a clear role profile for supplier‑provided 1st Line Support agents who will handle day‑to‑day operational queries about Thrive LMS dashboards/Analyse and custom Power BI reports. The emphasis is data literacy: agents must interpret learning data, explain metrics and filters, and triage discrepancies with confidence.

Scope of Support

• Inbound channels: Email, Teams chat.
• User types supported: Retail managers, market admins, content owners, learners (via admins), internal L&D stakeholders.
• Typical queries:
  • “How do I check who’s registered for which event?”
  • “Why do I see different completion numbers in Dashboard X vs Report Y?”
  • “How do I filter learners by market/dealer/job role?”
  • “Where do I find certification status for a retailer?”
  • “The report is blank for me — do I have access?”
• Out of scope (escalate): Data model defects, report development, platform bugs, bulk data loads, feature requests, integrations. These need to uncovered and reported.

Core Responsibilities

1. Front‑line triage & resolution of platform/reporting questions within agreed SLAs.
2. Data interpretation & explanation (definitions, filters, time windows, RLS/security, refresh cadence).
3. Reproduction & evidence gathering (screens, steps, IDs, filters, timestamps) for escalation‑ready cases.
4. Source‑of‑truth checks: Cross‑verify figures between Thrive Analyse and Power BI.
5. Knowledge base upkeep: Flag recurring issues and training gaps.

Qualifications

• Learning systems data domains: users, org hierarchy/markets, groups, tags/metadata, learning objects/assets, pathways, events/sessions, registrations, attendance, completions, certifications, assignments/targets.
• Thrive LMS (operator level): navigation, Events & Sessions, Pathways, Certifications/Tags, Assignments/Targets, dashboard filters, exports, and common admin views.
• Power BI (consumer/support level): workspaces vs apps, datasets vs reports, slicers/filters, RLS, subscriptions/alerts, export limits, refresh types & schedules.
• Data quality concepts: duplicates/merges, missing values, late‑arriving facts, time zone effects, soft‑deletes, canonical IDs, surrogate keys.
• Metrics literacy: registrations vs attendance vs completion; attempts/re‑enrolments; active vs suspended users; certification definitions.

Nice to have: Basic SQL (read‑only), Excel pivot proficiency, SCORM/xAPI familiarity.

Competencies & Behaviours

• Analytical reasoning: trace a number; isolate variables; compare like‑for‑like.
• Communication: simple, non‑jargon explanations; crisp summaries and next steps.
• Customer empathy & ownership: proactive updates; clear expectations; closes the loop.
• Precision & consistency: meticulous with IDs, timestamps, filters and screenshots.
• Collaboration: knows when/how to engage L2 BI, platform teams, or vendor support.

Day‑to‑Day Tasks (Examples)

• Guide a manager to list event registrations for a date range/market.
• Diagnose a report discrepancy by checking: selected filters, hidden page filters, date grains, excluded statuses (e.g., cancelled/waitlist), RLS scope, refresh timestamp, and pathway vs asset roll‑ups.
• Validate certification status for a retailer: confirm tag/assignment logic, and assignment status.
• Confirm whether a user’s Power BI app access aligns with expected RLS scope.

Tooling & Access

• Thrive: admin views for dashboards/Analyse; Events & Pathways views; exports.
• Power BI Service: access to relevant apps/workspaces (read), view refresh history, usage metrics (read), CSV/Excel export.
• Snowflake Thrive BD (if competent to leverage.)
• Productivity: Excel (pivots), secure file share for evidence.

Security & Compliance: MFA, GDPR/PII handling, least‑privilege access, no local data retention beyond policy, redaction in screenshots where required.
