Apologies for the insecure silly post, but in all actuality I am trying to determine what title IN YOUR OPINION fits this set of skills.
So.... Skills.
Manage Data Warehouse, including tables, views update, insert, deletes Intermediate
Builds SSAS projects (These are analytical service projects such as OLAP cubes and Tabular in-memory) Beginner
Builds automation solutions in SSIS, such as deploy cubes and tabular in memory solutions Beginner
Write intermediately level SQL windowing, group by derived tables, lots and lots of aggregation Intermediate
Creates reports in BO WEBI Intermediate, SSRS beginner and Power BI Beginner
Research data in the warehouse such as spend, volume etc...
Create VBA solutions linking to web sites and automating solutions / tools for invoicing etc. Intermediate
Thoughts? My title is a Senior BA at the moment and maybe that's what I am but I thought those types of roles were more into requirements gathering and UML.

The role you've described is for an intermediate level BI / ETL Developer.

It's odd that none of the functions you just listed align with the title of Business Analyst. Not mentioned are: requirements gathering, system documentation, subject matter expertise, product management, etc.

Eric - To say I don't do those ever would be a lie, but it's not even 5% of my work effort day in and day out. I wouldn't know UML if it hit me in the nose, I only know it by name. Documentations, sure on occasion, but very rarely and Visio is only used for reverse engineering databases to review the ERD's.
With that said I don't manage the patching or updates on the servers or user accounts etc. Mainly the data inside the database.
Maybe I am a data steward, it sounds so entry level though. lol

I would say Data warehouse developer.
Titles in the data world are not very informative. I've had each of these job titles at multiple companies: DBA, BI Developer, and, in each case, what I did was very different from the last place.
