Role Description

As a Sr. Data Analyst, you will leverage data and visual analytics to provide actionable insights and strategic solutions for our clients. In this role, you will:

• Design technical solutions and develop robust data storage architectures.

• Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to translate complex business needs into technical data requirements.
• Data Modeling: Design and implement scalable data models and ETL processes using SQL to prepare diverse datasets for analysis.
• Visual Storytelling: Create compelling charts, graphs, and infographics that simplify complex trends and drive data-informed decision-making.
• Quality Assurance: Troubleshoot reporting issues, perform root-cause analysis on data discrepancies, and ensure total data integrity.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay current on emerging BI trends, tool updates, and best practices to enhance DSG’s reporting capabilities.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in BI development, dashboard design, and data visualization, using Tableau and at least one other platform.
• Proven mastery of Tableau and at least one other major visualization platform (Power BI or Looker) with the ability to adapt to new tools as project needs evolve.
• 5+ years of experience using SQL for cleaning, transforming, and performing complex calculations on large, disparate datasets.
• Expertise in advanced BI concepts such as complex calculations (LODs/DAX), data blending, parameter actions, and performance tuning for large-scale deployments.
• Experience working with cloud data warehouses (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake, or BigQuery).
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum environments.
• Knowledge of ETL/ELT tools (e.g., dbt) and modern data transformation methodologies.
• Experience integrating BI tools with APIs, cloud platforms, and third-party data sources.

Preferences

• Familiarity with Python or R for advanced data analytics and automation.
• Knowledge of cloud ecosystems (AWS preferred) and their native data services.
• Understanding of machine learning, predictive modeling, or statistical analysis.
• Specific experience in performance tuning SQL queries and dashboard load times for enterprise-level use.
• Experience working with the federal government on data visualization or analytics projects.

Requirements

• U.S. work authorization required.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a public trust clearance (i.e. must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident who has resided in the US for the past three years consecutively).
