Data Visualization Specialist

What if the data you worked with didn’t just populate dashboards but helped leaders make better decisions about people, performance, and readiness? At Horizon Performance, we believe data becomes valuable when people can understand it, trust it, and act on it. We work with organizations that operate in demanding environments where leaders need more than reports-they need clear, timely, and actionable insight., We are looking for a Data Visualization Specialist who can turn complex data into meaningful information while also helping implement, support, and continuously improve the systems that make those insights possible. This is not simply a dashboard-development position. You will work directly with users and stakeholders to understand what they need to know, analyze complex datasets, develop interactive visualizations, support software implementation and testing, troubleshoot technical issues, train users, and help ensure data-driven solutions are successfully adopted and sustained. This full-time position supports the Whole Marine Program (WMP) at the Marine Raider Training Center (MRTC) and is located at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina., You will design, develop, and deploy interactive reports, dashboards, and other visualizations using Power BI and, where appropriate, tools such as Tableau or D3.js. You will apply sound visualization principles to ensure information is clear, concise, accessible, and appropriate for the intended audience. These responsibilities directly reflect the SOW’s required design, development, and visualization functions. Success means stakeholders don’t just receive more data-they can quickly understand performance, identify what requires attention, and use the information to make informed decisions.

· Tell the Story Behind the Data

You will go beyond presenting charts and metrics. You will use data visualization and analysis to explain what is happening, identify meaningful patterns, communicate why those patterns matter, and help stakeholders understand the implications. Success means complex analysis becomes a compelling and understandable story that helps people move from information to action.

· Partner with Stakeholders to Solve the Right Problems

You will work directly with stakeholders to understand their operational needs, reporting requirements, questions, and priorities. You will translate those needs into practical analytical and visualization solutions and continuously refine those solutions based on user feedback. Success means the products you build answer meaningful questions, meet stakeholder expectations, and improve how users understand and apply information.

· Enable Users and Drive Adoption

You will help users understand and effectively use the tools and information available to them. This includes delivering training, demonstrations, and user enablement while translating technical or analytical concepts into language appropriate for different audiences. Success means users understand the tools, trust the information, and can independently use the system and its visualizations to support their work.

· Drive Data Quality, Governance, and Continuous Improvement

You will apply strong data-modeling and data-governance practices while continually looking for ways to improve analytics, visualizations, processes, and the overall user experience. The Government specifically requires Power BI experience encompassing report/dashboard development, data modeling, and data governance. Success means data and visual products remain accurate, understandable, useful, and sustainable as requirements evolve.

· Collaborate and Contribute to the Team

You will work as part of a cross-functional Horizon team that includes technical, product, consulting, analytics, and client-facing professionals. You will be expected to communicate clearly, solve problems collaboratively, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of outcomes. Success means the entire team performs better because you are part of it.
