Merchants Bank of Indiana is expanding its IT business insights/analytics team. We are looking for a IT Data Analyst who can help support both Merchant Capital’s and Merchants Bank of Indiana’s multifamily teams by developing customized reports and operational data extracts. Day-to-day you will gather data from a hosted SQL database to support our key business unit functions, and collaborate with the Project Delivery Office and its Product Owners on projects. Currently, we are in phase one or about 1 year into building this team, so the current work mostly consists of projects where data is requested, gathered, and then reported on. Phase two will be visualizing our findings, taking that data, and turning it into business insights. We are maturing these processes and looking for a data analyst who wants to be part of building something. If this sounds exciting, apply TODAY!

After one year as our IT Data Analyst, you will know you were successful if you…

• establish subject matter experience on the underlying data models of critical business applications.

• maintain and manage database backups and internal SSRS environments
• develop proficiency in middleware, ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load), and data integrations impacting key business applications you support
• identify and recommend appropriate continuous improvement opportunities
• operate within and champion the Agile/Scrum delivery approach

What we are looking for…

• 2-4 years’ experience operating in an agile environment with Product Owners, and team members to develop data-driven solutions for business partners, primarily using Microsoft SQL and SQL Reporting Services
• Experience developing dashboards and other modern data visualizations leveraging Power BI or comparable technology
• Use of statistical tools to identify, analyze, and interpret patterns and trends in complex data sets that could be helpful for the diagnosis and prediction
