Wish Farms is hiring: Data Reporting Analyst in Town of Florida

Wish Farms, founded in 1922, is a third-generation family owned business based in Plant City, Florida. We are one of the largest growers, shippers and marketers of berries in the United States. With farms and growers spanning from the Americas and throughout Canada, we supply strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries to our retail partners, primarily based in the Southeastern U.S. As we continue a path of growth, we strive to keep a strong focus on our core values: Quality, Integrity and Responsiveness. We have a career opportunity available for a talented and motivated individual to join our team as full-time reporting & data-focused team member that will be responsible for development, implementation, and support of new reports and analytics in our environment.

Our goal is to provide a unified platform and vision to the business allowing for both operational and analytic reporting. This position will work closely with the business and end users to determine the data sets and presentation methods to best support their inquiries. In the initial phase, supporting the current ad-hoc reporting will be the initial focus. Working to document current reporting capabilities will aid in scoping where to source data for usage in reports and analytics while allowing the business to limit ad-hoc data sets. Subsequent phases will focus on new analytics/insights and less on replacement of current reporting in the environment.

Experience in having created and maintained reporting via the Microsoft stack (SSRS & Power BI) is required. Ideally, this individual will have a strong background in the creation of new reports and dashboards while also having experience in analyzing data for troubleshooting. Already knowing, or having a desire to grow and learn, about the ETL process and data modeling is a plus, as the role can grow to encompass both aspects in the future.

This individual will report directly to the Director of Information Systems and will be interacting with users from all levels of the business. Due to the anticipated amount of collaboration, we are looking to fill this position via a candidate local to our corporate office in Plant City, Florida. Our team is small, but has a wide range of experience throughout the different aspects that comprise IT. We’re willing to share and learn with each other and that is a core portion of working together as a team.
