Tableau Developer (Data Visualization & Analytics)

Role Overview
We are looking for a highly skilled, hands-on Tableau Developer to join our pharmaceutical Client's 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 reportsusing 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

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

Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's or higher degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or related
field is required.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Tableau (dashboard development, not just
usage) is required. 
• Strong experience building interactive dashboards and complex visualizations is necessary.
• 3+ years of SQL experience required, 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

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 Tableau

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
Additional Information
• Local candidates only
• Must be able to work onsite in Basking Ridge, NJ 3 days per week
