Your Role as a Data Visualization Analyst:
As a Data Visualization Analyst, you won't just build charts—you will design the "command center" for our business. You will bridge the gap between complex SQL databases and executive decision-making, transforming BigQuery data into high-performance Tableau dashboards that tell a clear, actionable story.
The successful candidate will possess a strong understanding of data analysis principles, expert-level visualization skills in Tableau, and a deep knowledge of SQL and Excel. This is a cross-functional role; you will work closely with business stakeholders, data architects, and other analysts to understand reporting needs, design effective visual solutions, and contribute to a data-driven culture. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, manages multiple projects simultaneously, and adapts quickly to changing priorities.
A Day in the Life of a Data Visualization Analyst:

- Data Exploration: Analyze data from various sources to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies. Use SQL to explore BigQuery data and translate findings into meaningful visualizations.
- Data Integrity: Ensure rigorous data validation and QA processes to guarantee accuracy and reliability. Perform data reconciliation between BigQuery and Tableau, utilizing Excel for advanced auditing.
- Performance Optimization: Work with the Data Analytics Architect to develop performant, scalable dashboards that optimize data volume and user experience.
- Tableau Administration: Manage users, permissions, and folder structures within Tableau Cloud. Responsible for enabling new features such as Tableau Pulse.
- Standards and Best Practices: Identify and implement process, data, and reporting improvements across the organization.
- Training and Support: Provide end-user training and ongoing support to help stakeholders interpret visualizations and drive informed decisions.

- Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Tableau Expertise: Minimum of 3 years of experience focusing on Tableau and proficiency in building complex, easy-to-interpret dashboards.
