Tableau Prep Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Summary

Metrics LLC is bidding on a Financial and Acquisition Support (FAS) Services task order with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Executive Programs Management Unit (EPMU). This is a prepped recruiting effort—in the event of contract award, we will immediately need to staff this position.

The BI / Tableau Dashboard Developer serves as Key Personnel responsible for designing, building, and maintaining enterprise-level acquisition and budget dashboards that track the full contract lifecycle, spend plans, obligations, and human resources data. This role is critical to EPMU's financial transparency, compliance reporting, and data-driven decision-making across the acquisition portfolio.

Job & Team Function

• Dashboard Design & Development: Design, develop, and implement interactive Tableau dashboards covering the full contracts and acquisitions lifecycle (from initiation through closeout), budget management (spend plans, commitments, obligations, expenditures, variances, and forecasts), and human resources data (onboarding, offboarding, and personnel actions). Ensure dashboards are visually clear, accessible, and user-friendly with drill-down and filtering capabilities.
• Data Integration & Pipeline Management: Identify and connect relevant data sources — including contract management systems, government financial platforms (FFMS, FileOnQ/WebView), and spreadsheets — to Tableau. Build and maintain automated data pipelines that refresh dashboard data daily. Cleanse, transform, and validate data accuracy and completeness across acquisitions, budget, and HR datasets.
• Testing, Deployment & Access Control: Test dashboards thoroughly before deployment, including unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT) with stakeholders. Deploy finalized dashboards to the Tableau Server or Tableau Online environment. Configure user access permissions and security controls to protect sensitive financial and acquisition data.
• Daily Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Monitor daily data refresh jobs and troubleshoot any failures. Respond promptly to user questions and resolve issues. Continuously gather stakeholder feedback and implement dashboard enhancements aligned with Tableau best practices.
• Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Document how dashboards work, where data comes from, how data pipelines are structured, and how to maintain them. Support requirements-gathering sessions with stakeholders to refine reporting metrics and KPIs.
• Acquisition & Financial Reporting Support: Contribute to broader acquisition and budget analytics, including dashboards that track procurement timelines, cost variances, and program performance metrics.

You will report to the Project Manager and work closely with the EPMU Contracting and Acquisitions Section (CAS), the Office of Financial Management (OFM), and program stakeholders. You are a Key Personnel position and are expected to maintain availability during core business hours (9:00 AM–3:00 PM ET, Monday–Friday) and ensure continuity of daily dashboard operations.
