Tableau Specialist

Role: Tableau Specialist

Location: Perungudi, Chennai (Hybrid) - 3 Days a week at Office

Shift Time: 10.00AM - 7.00PM IST

About the role: The ideal candidate is a strong Tableau practitioner who can bring structure and rigor to the migration, ensuring business reporting continuity throughout the transition. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-starter who can onboard quickly, deliver independently, and make a meaningful contribution within a defined timeline.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and execute the migration of existing Power BI dashboards and reports to Tableau, ensuring functional and visual parity
• Audit and document current Power BI assets — reports, datasets, and data sources — to create a structured migration plan
• Validate migrated dashboards against source reports for data accuracy and consistency
• Identify opportunities to enhance and optimize reports during the migration rather than a like-for-like lift-and-shift
• Write and optimize complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and analyze data from multiple sources
• Optimize dashboard performance through efficient data modeling, extract strategies, and Tableau Server/Cloud management
• Follow and contribute to Tableau development best practices, standards, and governance within the BI team
• Document all deliverables thoroughly — including migration mapping, Tableau standards, and dashboard logic — to ensure seamless handover at the end of the engagement
• Support upskilling of internal BI team members on Tableau during the transition period

Required Qualifications:

• 4–7 years of hands-on experience with Tableau
• 4–7 years of strong SQL proficiency – writing complex queries, joins, subqueries, CTEs, window functions
• Proven experience building production-grade dashboards consumed by senior stakeholders
• Solid understanding of data visualization principles and storytelling with data
• Experience working with relational databases and cloud data warehouses
• Ability to ramp up quickly with minimal hand holding in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication skills to interact with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Prior contract or project-based work experience is a plus

Good to Have:

• Familiarity with Power BI (DAX, Power Query) and experience in BI tool migration projects is a plus
• Experience with Tableau Prep for data preparation and blending
• Tableau Desktop Specialist or Tableau Certified Data Analyst certification
