About the Opportunity
This short-term consulting opportunity is ideal for someone who loves building smart, practical data tools that actually get used. You’ll support a national public sector organization focused on strengthening services for military families by creating a streamlined risk data collection and reporting solution.
Working closely with a senior leader, you’ll design a simple but scalable MS Forms based tool that gathers data from Resource Centres across Canada. Your work will directly support better decision-making, clearer risk visibility, and long-term organizational planning, long after the build is complete.
What’s in it for You
This is a highly autonomous project with clear outcomes and a defined scope. You’ll have the chance to build something end to end, from intake to dashboard, and then hand it off with confidence.
You’ll work in a collaborative, low bureaucracy environment that values clarity, efficiency, and practical solutions. It’s a great fit if you enjoy focused project work, flexibility, and leaving behind tools that make people’s jobs easier.
Your Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll design and build a data collection tool using MS Forms with simple dropdowns and free-text inputs.
You’ll develop a Power BI dashboard that automatically populates and visualizes incoming data for reporting and analysis.
You’ll ensure data can be easily extracted to Excel and refreshed as new inputs are received.
You’ll collaborate closely with a single internal stakeholder to define requirements and validate functionality.
You’ll create a clear, plain-language reference guide that explains how to update the form and dashboard in the future.
Skills and Qualifications
5+ years of experience in data analysis, reporting, or business intelligence projects.
Advanced proficiency with MS Forms, Power BI, and MS Excel.
Experience with survey and data collection tools such as SurveyMonkey or JotForm.
Strong ability to translate requirements into simple, user-friendly technical solutions.
Clear documentation skills, with the ability to explain technical steps in plain language.
Comfort working independently with minimal oversight and tight timelines.
