My current title is "CRM Administrator." I'm our Tessitura DB, essentially. I have some SQL knowledge, but I'm not writing custom reports or stored procedures. But I do all FY and performance builds; I am responsible for TNEW content; I'm currently the only one building analytics dashboards; I do all training and onboarding; I maintain documentation of our system policies and procedures. My boss has never liked my title and thinks it should be Database Manager. I'm curious -- if your job sounds like mine, what is your title?
My title is Manager of Business Analytics...often just referred to as the 'Business Analyst'. I'm feeling like I might want to get that changed so this thread is super timely and helpful! I am the one who does all the SQL/back-end work including writing and maintaining stored procedures/custom views and mass database imports and updates- I work in SQL server pretty much all day/every day extracting data for various projects (I would love to know who does this at your orgs). I am also responsible for all reporting and analytics including custom reports, one-time analyses, and dashboards (Tessitura + PowerBI) and I run a cross-departmental CRM group to look at audience behavior and segmentation. Another area that has taken up a lot of time is managing the integration between Tessitura and WordFly/Prospect2- getting everything set up so the systems update each other and working with our marketing automation person to set up all of our automations based on custom views.
I would love to hear from/connect with people who either have a role similar to mine (DBA/SQL elements + reporting/analytics), or how these tasks are split up between different people :D
Hi Chelsea - my role is very similar to what you're describing. I moved from Development Operations Manager to DBA about 2 years ago. At the time, TCO had a consultant covering the DBA position, I'm very fortunate to continue working with her. I've been taking over more of the DBA/SQL/custom elements as I learn, I had some intermediate-ish-level knowledge before then. TCO's marketing/sales and fundraising departments have their own reporting specialists who I assist as needed from time to time. Most of us are still beginners in Tessitura Analytics/dashboards, I'm working with some interested staff members in figuring out what would be useful for them and I'll be creating those.
My main quest at the moment is standardizing/documenting/data hygiene, like Anne M Robichaux and the rest of us, I strive to be the one who knows What Is Going On.
