Job Level

About the role

  • Define BI Platform & Tooling Strategy: Evaluate and recommend the future-state BI environment (e.g., Tableau, Databricks, emerging AI-enabled tools). Establish a clear decision framework for when and how insights should be delivered across platforms.
  • Partner Strategically with Stakeholders: Work directly with key partners to translate business needs into decision-ready insights. Manage intake thoughtfully, anticipate follow-up questions, and guide stakeholders toward scalable, sustainable solutions.
  • Elevate Standards & Influence the Roadmap: Promote best practices in data visualization and storytelling, mentor other dashboard contributors, and contribute to the broader People Analytics roadmap and ecosystem evolution.
  • Lead Dashboard Modernization: Own the end-to-end transformation of the People Analytics dashboard ecosystem. Consolidate legacy builds into a cohesive, intuitive experience with standardized design, navigation, and governance practices that improve usability, performance, and adoption.
  • Create a Clear Entry Point to People Insights: Develop and maintain a unified “front door” to People data tools and dashboards that improves discoverability, documentation, and self-service access across stakeholders.
  • Build Scalable, High-Quality Data Products (Hands-On): Design and develop advanced dashboards and analytical solutions using SQL and tools such as Tableau, Databricks, Python, or R. Ensure data integrity, performance, and sustainability — moving beyond one-off reporting to scalable products.

Requirements

  • 6–8+ years of experience in Business Intelligence, Analytics, Data Visualization, or a related field
  • Advanced expertise building and maintaining dashboards in Tableau or comparable BI platforms, including experience standardizing design patterns and improving usability at scale
  • Strong proficiency in SQL, with demonstrated experience developing performant, production-ready datasets and data models
  • Experience using Python or R for data transformation, automation, or advanced analysis
  • Demonstrated ownership of a significant BI initiative (e.g., dashboard modernization, tooling migration, governance framework, or portfolio consolidation) with measurable impact
  • Proven ability to independently partner with Director-level stakeholders to translate ambiguous business questions into scalable, decision-ready solutions
  • Experience establishing standards, governance practices, or frameworks that improve consistency, quality, and sustainability of analytics products
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders and clearly explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to proactively identify opportunities for improvement and drive work forward with minimal oversight
  • Background in People Analytics, HR data, or other highly sensitive, governance-driven data environments.
