About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Data Visualization Specialist to join our team in the greater DMV area, supporting the Army National Guard. Responsibilities Lead design and delivery of enterprise data visualization solutions (dashboards, analytic apps, executive reports) using Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent BI platforms. Architect scalable, high‑performance visualization frameworks with governed semantic models, role‑based security, and optimized refresh/processing strategies. Oversee data preparation, modeling, and validation (ETL/ELT, semantic layers, measures/calculations) to ensure data integrity, lineage, and consistency across reporting assets. Implement interaction design patterns: parameterization, drill‑throughs, bookmarks, paginated reports, and responsive visual layouts for varied user audiences. Establish QA and release management processes for visualization artifacts: testing, performance tuning, refresh orchestration, and defect remediation. Translate strategic objectives into standardized KPIs, governed report templates, and reusable visualization components in collaboration with senior stakeholders. Document architecture, calculation logic, governance controls, and lifecycle processes to support audit readiness and maintainability. Integrate visualizations with analytics pipelines and data governance practices to ensure traceability and compliance. Mentor junior visualization engineers, codify visualization standards, and introduce advanced analytics/visual techniques and automation opportunities. #ENOCS
