Tableau Developer (Data Visualization & Analytics)
Team: Center for Metrics, Analytics, Reporting & Solutions (cMARS)

We are looking for a highly skilled, hands-on Tableau Developer to join the cMARS team and play a key role in advancing a data-driven culture across R&D. In this role, you will design and build intuitive, high-impact dashboards that transform complex data into meaningful insights for business stakeholders. You will work with data from enterprise R&D data platforms to deliver scalable, performant, and analytically robust 
visualizations.

This is not a reporting role — it is a technical, problem-solving role requiring strong analytical thinking, deep Tableau expertise, and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into effective data solutions.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop interactive, user-centric dashboards and reports using Tableau
• Translate business requirements into clear, insightful visualizations and data stories
• Build advanced visual components including:
o drill-downs and hierarchical navigation
o heat maps, box plots, trend analysis, and statistical charts
o dynamic dashboards with parameters and actions
• Develop and optimize complex calculations, including:
o Level of Detail (LOD) expressions
o table calculations
o conditional logic and dynamic formatting
• Ensure dashboards are accurate, performant, and scalable
• Maintain dashboard documentation, including mapping specifications, test dashboards, 
and develop testing scripts.
• Collaborate closely with data engineers to:
o define and refine data tables for dashboard consumption
o ensure data quality and usability for analytics
• Collaborate closely with business analysts to:
o refine wireframes, metrics, and functional requirements
• Apply best practices in data visualization design (clarity, usability, performance)
• Troubleshoot data and visualization issues, identifying root causes and solutions

Role Expectations (Important):

• This is a purely hands-on development role — not a reporting, coordination, or oversight role
• You will be expected to work directly in Tableau and SQL on a daily basis
• Candidates must demonstrate the ability to:
o build dashboards independently
o solve complex data and visualization problems
o deliver high-quality work under evolving requirements

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Tableau (dashboard development, not just usage)
• Strong experience building interactive dashboards and complex visualizations
• 3+ years of SQL experience, including:
o joins, aggregations, subqueries
o ability to explore and validate datasets
• Solid understanding of data modeling and relational databases (e.g., Redshift, Oracle, Snowflake)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
• Experience working with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and Excel
• Excellent communication skills 

What Makes You Successful:

• You think beyond charts — you design insightful user experiences
• You question data and validate results, not just visualize them
• You are comfortable working with ambiguous requirements and shaping solutions
• You care about both technical quality and business impact

Preferred Qualifications:

•Tableau Certification (e.g., Tableau Certified Data Analyst)
• Experience working with R&D or clinical trials data in pharma/life sciences
• Experience designing dashboards for large-scale or enterprise data environments
• Familiarity with performance optimization techniques in Tab Tableau Certification (e.g., Tableau Certified Data Analyst)
