Apex Systems is seeking a Senior Product Owner (Product SME) to join a leading financial services organization in Toronto. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Analytics Platforms, this role leads the migration from Tableau to Power BI and Microsoft Fabric as part of a multi-year program to consolidate enterprise reporting and analytics onto Power BI, Fabric and Databricks and retire Tableau.
This is a leadership, consultative and coordination role rather than a development role, so strong migration, stakeholder and executive communication experience is essential, but hands-on dashboard development is not expected. The ability to take ownership and inspire teams and vendors to keep moving forward is critical.
Responsibilities
- Product Ownership and Migration Strategy: Own the migration strategy, product backlog, roadmap and requirements for the Tableau, Power BI and Fabric workstreams. Assess the Tableau estate, prioritize migrations based on business value, risk and readiness, and build the migration plan. Identify feature gaps between Tableau and Power BI and recommend practical approaches to address them. Evaluate migration automation options and provide recommendations. Establish standards, best practices and migration guidance for business teams performing their own conversions.
- Platform Readiness, Governance and Security: Define the requirements to scale Power BI and Fabric for incoming Tableau users, workloads and data connections. Translate how data sources are created and provisioned in Tableau into equivalent configuration requirements in Power BI and Fabric. Ensure migrated content meets governance and security standards.
- Business Enablement and Stakeholder Leadership: Act as the primary product contact for business teams and Tableau site owners throughout their migration journey. Lead migration communications, run recurring forums, and maintain guidance, FAQs and milestones. Coordinate training and onboarding so users are productive in Power BI and Fabric.
- Tracking, Reporting and Decommissioning: Maintain a migration tracker showing progress by team, and raise risks, issues, dependencies and escalations early. Report progress, risks and decisions to program leadership and executive stakeholders. Coordinate the readiness activities required to decommission Tableau once migrations are complete.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience with enterprise BI and analytics platforms.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with both Tableau and Power BI.
- Experience supporting or leading an enterprise-scale Tableau to Power BI migration.
- Experience in a Product Owner, Product SME or similar stakeholder-facing role on large BI, analytics or data modernization initiatives.
- Strong understanding of Tableau Server architecture and Power BI Service.
- Working experience with Microsoft Fabric.
- Solid knowledge of data modelling, DAX, and on-premises and cloud data source connectivity.
- Strong backlog management, requirements definition and Agile delivery skills.
- Excellent executive-level communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills.
- Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to work independently and inspire teams.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Familiarity with migration automation tools or approaches.
- Databricks exposure, particularly how Power BI connects to Databricks.
- Cloud data platform experience (Azure preferred).
- Financial services background.
- Governance experience and ServiceNow familiarity.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, Engineering or a related field.
- Certifications such as Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer, Power BI Data Analyst, Tableau, CSPO, PMP or SAFe.
