About the role

Overview
Cherre, a Realpage Company, is the leader in real estate data and insight. Our front end product suite, built in Power BI, is how clients see and act on the data connected to the Cherre platform. You will build and run the dashboards and data models on top of Cherre's dimensional model: asset management, portfolio overview, financial and operational performance, valuations, loan performance, benchmarking, and data validation reporting for institutional investors, asset managers, and pension funds. You will work with Client Success, Product, and Engineering, and you will join clients directly when the work calls for it. Strong SQL and Power BI skills are the foundation. Real estate know-how is what sets you apart.
Responsibilities
ABOUT YOU
3 to 5 years in BI development or analytics engineering, ideally in real estate, prop-tech, or financial services. A portfolio of dashboards you can walk us through. Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. Discretion with confidential client financial data.
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Build reusable reporting. Design Power BI reports and semantic models as standardized, white-label templates first, then configure them per client. Take on custom visuals (multi-level entity roll-ups, field-parameter views, client-specific KPIs) when scoped, and flag patterns that should become product.

Model the data. Write SQL against BigQuery, Snowflake, and Azure SQL. Build star-schema models fed by Yardi, MRI, VTS, Chatham, Argus, RealPage, and client-submitted data. Write DAX for budget vs. actual, T-12, and year-over-year logic.

Run Power BI Service. Manage DEV, UAT, and PROD workspaces in our embedded environment: deployment pipelines, row-level security, refresh, capacity, and performance tuning. Support clients using templates in their own tenant.

Ship like an engineer. Keep reports as PBIP files in GitHub with peer review and naming standards. Use AI coding assistants to speed up model changes, testing, and documentation.

Work with clients. Join requirements sessions, present dashboards, support UAT, and answer data validation questions from client finance and analyst teams. Catch bad numbers (GL mapping gaps, missing lease dates, occupancy over 100%) before clients do.

Stay organized. Track work in Monday.com and JIRA, handle escalations from Client Success, and contribute to user guides, demos, and release testing.
