How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

Design the target semantic layer: shared data sources, metric definitions, relationships, row-level security and certification
Inventory existing Tableau workbooks and data sources, find the duplicated and conflicting logic, and plan how each one moves
Lead the migration itself, rebuilding calculations once in the semantic layer and repointing dashboards to it without breaking what users rely on
Reconcile old and new numbers side by side and explain every difference before anything is cut over
Set the standards, naming and governance that keep the semantic layer clean after we hand it off

Required qualifications

12 or more years of business intelligence architecture experience, including enterprise data modeling and reporting design
Hands-on Tableau experience at scale: published data sources, Tableau Server or Cloud administration, row-level security and performance tuning
Led at least one semantic-layer or BI platform migration from planning through cutover
U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

Tableau Pulse, Tableau semantic models, or a comparable semantic layer such as dbt Semantic Layer, AtScale, LookML or Power BI shared datasets
Strong SQL against Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, Oracle or PostgreSQL
Tableau certification such as Tableau Certified Architect or Server Certified Associate
Federal, state or other public-sector BI work
