Senior Analytics Experience Designer

Job Description:

• Join discovery sessions alongside the BI Product Manager when the consumption experience is central to defining the problem
• Observe how users interact with data in their actual environment, contribute a user experience perspective before solutions are attached to problems, and push back when a proposed direction is technically solvable but experientially wrong.
• Own information hierarchy, navigation, visualization selection, and layout across BI reporting products.
• Make and defend design decisions based on the decision the report needs to enable, not aesthetic preference.
• Align with the Analytics Developer on data availability before making design commitments.
• Maintain working knowledge of both primary consumer types - operational users who need to act quickly and leadership users who need context and narrative - and design appropriately for each.
• Test designs with actual users from both categories before work ships.
• Prototype early and share work before it is finished.
• Test the design approach, not just the visual details, and iterate based on what users actually do rather than what they say they prefer.
• Own and maintain the Power BI visual standard for the BI team, including color conventions, layout patterns, visualization guidelines, and reusable templates for the two primary use cases.
• Document design decisions so the standard can be evolved intentionally.
• Track whether shipped work is being used and whether the experience is creating the conditions for decisions to be made.
• Surface adoption signals and design-related friction back into iteration rather than treating delivery as the endpoint.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and effort estimation as part of a structured delivery model. Work is tracked and managed in Azure DevOps.

Requirements:

• 5 or more years designing data experiences - dashboards, reports, or analytics interfaces - in a production environment with real business users
• Advanced Power BI proficiency across visualization design, report layout, and information hierarchy, with the ability to make and defend visualization choices based on the insight being communicated
• Demonstrated experience working directly with end users through some form of discovery, including ride-alongs, observational sessions, usability testing, or structured interviews
• Working knowledge of SQL and underlying data structure sufficient to have an informed conversation with data developers and recognize when a design depends on data that does not exist
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership on a small team, without dedicated research, QA, or adoption support functions.
• Experience building or contributing to a design system or shared visual standard used and maintained by others (Preferred)
• Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or similar cloud-based analytics platforms (Preferred)
• Experience working within a structured sprint-based delivery model with formal intake processes (Preferred)
• Healthcare operations, revenue cycle, or claims processing domain experience (Preferred)

Benefits:

• Health insurance
• 401(k) matching
• Flexible work hours
• Paid time off
• Remote work options
