The University of Kentucky Office of Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement (PAE) is seeking a Philanthropy Reporting & Business Analyst to turn complex advancement data into clear, actionable insight for our fundraising and engagement teams. This role designs and builds reports and dashboards using our business intelligence and CRM reporting tools (such as Tableau, Microsoft Fabric, and Apsona), partnering directly with PAE stakeholders to gather requirements, ensure data accuracy, and optimize visualizations for usability, performance, and aesthetics.
