This is a hybrid position — 3 days onsite in Basking Ridge, NJ and 2 days remote. Target start date: September 14th or 21st.

About the Role

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 a technical, problem-solving role requiring strong analytical thinking, deep Tableau expertise, and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into effective data solutions.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Maintain dashboard documentation, including mapping specifications, test dashboards, and testing scripts.
• 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.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a 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.
• 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

• 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

Pay

$60–68/hour (W2 only). Flexible arrangements available for well-qualified individuals.
