To achieve our ambitions, we're looking to hire a Principal Visualisation Lead to lead and elevate our Data Visualisation practice. Are you ready to shape the future of our visualisation capability while staying hands‑on with client delivery? As our Principal Visualisation Lead, you'll split your time between strategic leadership and people development and hands‑on client delivery. You'll work directly with our Director of Data Enablement to define and drive our visualisation practice direction, whilst genuinely caring for and developing a distributed team of visualisation consultants across onshore, nearshore, and offshore locations. You'll be part of the design authority for visualisation across our consultancy – setting the standard for visual design principles, dashboard architecture, and best practices. You'll lead discovery workshops and demonstrations, define end‑to‑end reporting strategies for clients, and ensure our team delivers exceptional, insight‑driven solutions that integrate seamlessly with broader data solutions. You'll have the vision to design not just individual dashboards, but comprehensive reporting suites that serve entire organisations – from regulatory compliance through to C‑Suite decision‑making and down to operational execution. You should have deep expertise in Power BI and Tableau, appreciate how visualisation fits within the broader data architecture and solution landscape, and thrive on building team capability whilst solving complex data storytelling challenges. You'll have a forward‑thinking vision of where visualisation and insight generation is heading – understanding that the landscape is evolving beyond traditional dashboards.
