CompassX is a boutique business and technology consulting firm. We help Fortune 500 and high-growth clients deliver their most strategic initiatives, from enterprise transformations to digital and data-driven projects. With over 15 years of proven results, we’ve expanded across industries including financial services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, consumer products, and quick service restaurants. We are honored to be recognized as a three-time winner of Consulting Magazine’s Best Boutique Firms to Work For, and previously recognized as a “Best Place to Work” in Southern California and one of INC.’s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. CompassX is seeking a Business Intelligence Developer with experience across Tableau and Power BI to support dashboard delivery. This role will focus on dashboard development, data validation, and collaboration with stakeholders in a fast-moving consulting environment.

This is likely an initial 2-3 month contract, but could be extended through great delivery.

We are open to two types of candidates:

• Tableau and Power BI Developer: Strong in both Tableau and Power BI and able to create dashboards proficiently in both tools.
• Power BI-first Developer: Strong in building Power BI dashboards and some exposure to Tableau.

What you’ll do

• Build, enhance, and maintain dashboards in Tableau and/or Power BI.
• Support and modify existing dashboards, including working with underlying SQL and calculations.
• Translate business requirements and wireframes into effective visualizations.
• Develop and optimize DAX measures (Power BI).
• Use SQL for data validation, profiling, and troubleshooting.
• Own work from requirements through development and quality checks.
• Collaborate with consultants and stakeholders to iterate on reporting solutions.

What we're looking for

• Degree-qualified in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Hands-on experience with Tableau and Power BI, and ideally able to build in both environments.
• Strong SQL skills.
• Experience supporting existing BI environments, not just greenfield builds.
• Ability to organize and clarify business requirements.
• Comfortable working independently in a project-based consulting role.
• Clear communication and stakeholder-facing skills.

This is an independent contractor position; the rate will vary based on experience. This will be on a 1099 contractor basis.
