Staff Visualization Engineer

The Staff Visualization Engineer will be a core design contributor within the India COE's analytics practice, responsible for designing and building the executive dashboards, self-service analytics experiences, and interactive reports that power business decisions globally in Tableau and/ Power BI. Requirements and metric definitions are owned by the Insights and Analytics (I& A) function and relevant business stakeholders this role's mandate is to translate those definitions into intuitive, visually excellent, accessible, and governed analytics products with strong UI/UX craft. The role works in close collaboration with I& A, Analytics Engineering, and business stakeholders to ensure every dashboard is well-designed, easy to use, and well-documented.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Dashboard Design and Development:

• Design and build enterprise dashboards, operational reports, and executive scorecards in Tableau and/ Power BI, developed to the metric definitions and requirements owned and validated by the I& A function and business stakeholders.
• Translate analytically defined requirements into intuitive, visually polished, and well-structured dashboards that meet the COE's design quality and delivery standards.
• Craft interactive experiences: drill-downs, filters, tooltips, parameters, and guided navigation that let users move from overview to detail without losing context.
• Build and maintain self-service analytics experiences: governed, easy-to-use templates and curated views that enable business power users to explore data independently.
• Own the full design lifecycle for individual analytics products from intake of a defined requirement through wireframing, build, stakeholder review, deployment, and post-launch refinement.

UX Research and Information Design:

• Partner with I& A and business users to understand the decisions each dashboard supports, the questions users ask, and the context in which they consume analytics.
• Apply information design principles: visual hierarchy, pre-attentive attributes, appropriate chart selection, and considered use of colour and whitespace so the most important insight is seen first.
• Produce wireframes, low- and high-fidelity mockups, and clickable prototypes to align stakeholders on layout and interaction before development begins.
• Flag ambiguous or conflicting requirements back to I& A for resolution before building; this role designs the experience and does not reinterpret the underlying metric definitions.
• Run lightweight user research and feedback sessions and use adoption and usage signals to iterate on layout, navigation, and content.

Design Systems, Visual Standards and Prototyping:

• Build and maintain a reusable design system for analytics templates, colour palettes, typography, iconography, and component patterns that keeps dashboards consistent across Tableau and Power BI.
• Establish and document visualisation standards and a style guide, and review peers' dashboards for adherence to layout, branding, and interaction conventions.
• Apply data visualisation best practices and accessibility standards (WCAG colour contrast, colourblind-safe palettes, keyboard navigation, and alt text) to every dashboard and report.
• Follow the COE's data product certification checklist, ensuring every deliverable meets design, documentation, and usability standards before production release.
• Optimise dashboards for performance and responsive layouts across desktop, mobile, and embedded surfaces, keeping load times and interactivity smooth at organisational scale.

Usability and Quality:

• Plan and run usability testing on dashboards observing real users, capturing friction points, and translating findings into concrete design improvements.
• Validate that every published dashboard is accurate to the agreed metric definitions and renders correctly across browsers, devices, and permission levels before sign-off.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in data visualisation, business intelligence, or dashboard design, with a strong UI/UX focus.
• Demonstrated mastery of Tableau and/ Power BI in building production-grade interactive dashboards, calculated fields and measures, and well-structured, reusable workbooks and reports at organisational scale.
• Hands-on expertise with Copilot in Power BI using its natural-language and generative-AI capabilities to accelerate report building, DAX and measure creation, and narrative insights, and guiding business users to adopt these features effectively.
• Strong UI/UX design skills in information design, visual hierarchy, and interaction design with the ability to produce wireframes and prototypes in Figma or an equivalent tool.
• Solid working proficiency in SQL, able to explore data, validate metrics, and shape query results to support well-designed visualisations.
• Deep understanding of data visualisation best practices and chart selection, which visual answers which question, and how to avoid misleading or cluttered design.
• Experience implementing dashboards from business-defined metric specifications; comfortable executing against requirements owned upstream by an analytics or product function.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in a regulated industry (life sciences, healthcare, or similar) where data accuracy, auditability, and clear presentation carry compliance implications.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in design, human-computer interaction, information systems, statistics, business analytics, or a related field.
• Experience building self-service analytics experiences and enabling business power users to work independently with governed, well-designed templates.
• Familiarity with design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch) and with building and maintaining reusable design systems.
• Experience embedding analytics into applications or portals and optimising dashboards for mobile devices and performance.
• Experience working in a global capability centre (GCC) or centre of excellence (COE) environment.
