Contract till Dec 2026 with possibility to extend Role Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled, hands-on Tableau Developer 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.

• 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:
• drill-downs and hierarchical navigation
• heat maps, box plots, trend analysis, and statistical charts
• dynamic dashboards with parameters and actions
• Develop and optimize complex calculations, including:
• Level of Detail (LOD) expressions
• table calculations
• conditional logic and dynamic formatting
• Ensure dashboards are accurate, performant, and scalable
• Collaborate closely with data engineers to:
• define and refine data tables for dashboard consumption
• ensure data quality and usability for analytics
• Collaborate closely with business analysts to:
• 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

• 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

• Bachelor's or higher degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or related field
• 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:
• joins, aggregations, subqueries
• 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

• Experience working with R&D or clinical trials data in pharma/life sciences
• Familiarity with performance optimization techniques in Tableau
• 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:
• build dashboards independently
• solve complex data and visualization problems
• deliver high-quality work under evolving requirements

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