🏢 About Wr

World Relief is a Christian humanitarian organization that serves the most vulnerable, including refugees and immigrants. With a Gold-level Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation, it values employee well-being and offers a supportive, mission-driven culture. Working here means using your IT skills to directly impact lives and support global relief efforts.

About This Role

This role combines data visualization with Dynamics 365 support, enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization. You'll design Power BI dashboards that tell compelling stories about refugee services, while ensuring system adoption to streamline operations. Your work will help World Relief scale its impact and serve more people effectively.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing support tickets for Dynamics 365, helping a caseworker troubleshoot a data entry issue. Then, you'd meet with program managers to refine requirements for a new refugee resettlement dashboard, followed by building DAX measures in Power BI. Afternoon could involve training a team on best practices for system adoption, ending with documentation of your data models.
