POSITION SUMMARY

Targa is seeking a collaborative and execution-oriented Analytics Enablement Lead to help establish and operate an enterprise Center of Excellence for governed self-service analytics and low-code development. The role will enable business users to safely create and enhance analytical solutions while ensuring that enterprise standards for trusted data, security, quality, usability, release, and support are consistently applied.

The Lead will have primary responsibility for Citizen Development enablement, with an initial emphasis on Power BI, business enablement, communities of practice, champion networks, maker support, data literacy, adoption, and measurable enterprise outcomes. The role will partner closely with the Data Governance Adoption Lead and provide backup support when needed by bringing practical data governance competency to citizen-development activities, including awareness of data ownership, stewardship, business definitions, quality, metadata, classification, certification, and lifecycle management.

JOB FUNCTIONS AND KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Help establish and operate Targa's Citizen Development Center of Excellence, including charter, governance, service model, intake, roles, decision rights, operating cadence, and roadmap.
Define practical standards and guardrails for citizen-developed Power BI reports, semantic models, workspaces, data connections, security, naming, documentation, testing, certification, release, support, and retirement.
Develop and maintain the governed path from business development environments to production, including review criteria, validation, ownership, change control, and escalation requirements.
Facilitate intake and triage activities to help business users determine whether needs are best addressed through citizen development, certified enterprise assets, centralized delivery, automation, or other Technology capabilities.
Create and lead enterprise Communities of Practice, office hours, demonstrations, forums, and knowledge-sharing activities that connect business users with Data & Analytics expertise.
Establish and sustain a network of Citizen Development Champions across business functions who serve as local advocates, power users, trainers, feedback channels, and early adopters for self-service analytics and low-code capabilities.
Design and deliver data-literacy and self-service enablement programs for multiple user personas, including foundational data concepts, Power BI, data storytelling, trusted data, governance, and responsible use of analytics.
Develop reusable templates, starter kits, design standards, playbooks, training materials, knowledge articles, and reference solutions that improve quality and reduce duplicated effort.

Establish and maintain enterprise KPIs for adoption and effectiveness, including active makers, trained users, champion participation, certified assets, semantic-model reuse, cycle time, production promotion, support demand, quality, user satisfaction, and business value.
Analyze adoption and usage data to identify where users need additional training, where assets should be consolidated, and where central delivery or stronger controls are required.
Serve as a business-facing advisor who helps teams determine when a need is appropriate for citizen development, centralized delivery, automation, or another Technology capability.
Partner with the Data Governance Adoption Lead to align citizen-development practices with governance adoption priorities and provide backup support for selected governance engagement, communications, and enablement activities when needed.
Apply working data governance knowledge to citizen-development efforts, including data ownership, stewardship, glossary, metadata, data quality, classification, access, lineage, certification, issue management, and lifecycle expectations.
Support the Data Governance program rollout by helping reinforce data-owner, steward, domain champion, and subject-matter expert engagement within citizen-development communities and enablement activities.
Connect Citizen Development requirements to governance capabilities such as business glossary, metadata, data quality, classification, access, lineage, certification, issue management, and product ownership.
Support communications, change management, stakeholder engagement, and adoption planning for governance and self-service capabilities in partnership with the Governance Adoption Lead and Data & Analytics leadership.
Promote responsible use of Power Platform and other low-code capabilities within approved Technology and data-governance guardrails.
