Hey folks,

Our friends at Humber College in Toronto, ON are looking for a Data Visualization and Analytics Specialist. Job posting here: Data Visualization and Analytics Specialist 

It closes March 8.

Under the direction of the Associate Director, Institutional Research, the Data Visualization and Analytics Specialist will analyze and present data in pictorial or graphical format using Tableau that enables diverse user groups to quickly grasp new and difficult concepts, identify new patterns and make evidence-based decisions. The incumbent will play an important role in supporting effective data governance through good stewardship and collaboration with other institutional data holders.

Many of you saw the presentation by Daniel from at our last user group session, so you may have a bit of an idea of the type of work Humber does with Tableau.

Good luck, if you decide to apply.

(disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Humber College, nor in any way with this job search - just passing on the posting because they asked if I could share it with the group).
