About The Position

AFL manufactures industry-leading fiber optic cable, connectivity and accessories and provides engineering and installation services for some of the largest telecom customers in the world. Our company was founded in 1984 with a single fiber optic cable and today, we manufacture thousands of products, generate an excess of $3B in revenue, and employ approximately 12,000 associates worldwide. At AFL, we recognize that our employees are our greatest asset. We hire and train each individual, investing in them to ensure success in their careers. With a commitment to professional development and growth, let us connect you to your next career opportunity. This is a foundational seat in the Analytics and Enablement pillar of a brand new PMO. The Dashboard Developer will build the visibility layer that pulls data from multiple sources, spreadsheets, project plans, operational systems, into a single, executive ready view of project health for internal leaders and external customers. We are tool agnostic. Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or another platform are all on the table. The right person brings deep visualization craft and the ability to evaluate, recommend, and stand up the right stack for our scale. This is a Greenfield seat. There is no existing dashboard layer. You will define the standard. You will lead the platform evaluation and recommendation. The decision is yours to drive.
