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.
