Tableau Developer, People Analytics (6-Month Contract)
Remote (Preference for CST)
About the Team
At PlayStation, we're not just building the Best Place to Play — we're also building the Best Place to Work.
The People Analytics team within Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) People & Places organization partners with leaders across the business to transform people data into meaningful insights and smarter decisions. We're a small but mighty team passionate about making data more accessible, actionable, and engaging for the people who use it.
We're currently on a mission to level up our entire portfolio of People Analytics dashboards — reimagining how we visualize workforce and workplace data, expanding access to insights, and empowering more leaders to make informed decisions through intuitive, self-service analytics.
We're looking for an experienced Tableau Developer to join us on a 6-month contract and help bring this vision to life.
About the Role
As a Tableau Developer on the People Analytics team, you'll play a critical role in modernizing our dashboard portfolio, combining exceptional data visualization skills with the technical expertise needed to make people data more accessible without compromising security.
You'll focus on two key priorities:
- Dashboard Modernization: Transform existing Tableau dashboards into visually compelling, intuitive, and high-impact analytical products. Improve aesthetics, functionality, usability, and content to help our stakeholders find the insights they need and understand what actions to take.
- Expanded Access & Row-Level Security: Design and implement scalable row-level security solutions within Tableau, enabling us to safely expand dashboard access to new audiences while ensuring users see only the employee data they're authorized to access.
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves building exceptional data products, enjoys solving technical challenges, and takes pride in creating solutions that people genuinely want to use.
What You'll Be Doing
Dashboard Design & Development
- Lead the redesign, development, and enhancement of existing Tableau dashboards, incorporating modern data visualization best practices, intuitive navigation, and engaging user experiences.
- Partner with People Analytics team members and stakeholders to understand business questions, identify opportunities for improvement, and translate requirements into effective dashboard solutions.
- Optimize dashboard performance, usability, and maintainability, ensuring solutions are scalable and deliver a seamless user experience.
- Incorporate user feedback into iterative improvements, balancing visual appeal, analytical accuracy, and practical business needs.
- Build dashboards that empower stakeholders to independently explore data, answer business questions, and make informed decisions.
Row-Level Security & Data Access
- Design, implement, test, and maintain robust row-level security (RLS) solutions within Tableau to support expanded access to sensitive employee data.
- Develop scalable security models that dynamically restrict data visibility based on user identity, organizational hierarchy, role, or other defined access permissions.
- Collaborate with People Analytics and relevant technology/security partners to ensure security implementations align with organizational data governance and privacy requirements.
- Validate security configurations through comprehensive testing, including different user roles, access scenarios, and organizational changes.
- Document security architecture, configuration, and maintenance procedures to enable reliable ongoing administration by the People Analytics team.
Data Integration & Technical Excellence
- Develop and optimize Tableau data sources, connections, and underlying data models, primarily leveraging Snowflake.
- Write and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and prepare data for dashboard development.
- Troubleshoot data quality, performance, and integration issues across dashboards and underlying data sources.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and standardize dashboard development and maintenance processes.
- Collaborate with team members to ensure knowledge transfer, thorough documentation, and sustainable solutions beyond the contract period.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Significant hands-on experience developing, deploying, and maintaining complex Tableau dashboards in a professional environment.
- Advanced Tableau expertise, including dashboard design, calculated fields, parameters, filters, actions, data modeling, performance optimization, and visualization best practices.
- Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, and maintaining row-level security in Tableau, including user-based access controls, entitlement/security mapping, and dynamic data filtering.
- Strong understanding of Tableau's security architecture and how permissions, data sources, and row-level security interact.
- Proficiency working with relational databases and querying data using SQL or comparable technologies.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical challenges independently.
- Experience translating business requirements into intuitive, high-quality analytical products.
- Excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with sensitive or confidential information.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to independently manage priorities, deliver high-quality work within defined timelines, and document solutions for long-term sustainability.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Snowflake, including querying, data modeling, and optimizing Tableau connections to Snowflake datasets.
- Experience with Alteryx or similar ETL/data preparation tools for automating data transformation and integration workflows.
- Experience working with HRIS or People Analytics data, particularly employee records, organizational hierarchies, and workforce metrics.
- Familiarity with enterprise Tableau environments, including Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud administration, permissions, and governance.
- Experience implementing dynamic row-level security based on organizational hierarchies or complex business rules.
- Experience modernizing existing dashboard portfolios, including establishing reusable design patterns and development standards.
- Familiarity with Workday or other enterprise HR systems.
Who You Are
- Design-minded: You believe a great dashboard should be as intuitive and engaging as it is analytically rigorous.
- Technically curious: You enjoy untangling complex data and security challenges and finding elegant, scalable solutions.
- Impact-driven: You care about more than delivering a dashboard — you want to know whether people use it and whether it helps them make better decisions.
- Collaborative: You're an approachable partner who welcomes feedback, shares knowledge, and helps others succeed.
- Detail-oriented: You understand that accuracy, privacy, and security are non-negotiable when working with people data.
- Pragmatic and adaptable: You balance innovation with practical execution, recognizing that delivering sustainable improvements matters more than chasing perfection.
The Impact You'll Make
By the end of this 6-month engagement, you'll have helped transform how leaders across PlayStation access and interact with workforce insights.
Your work will contribute to a modernized, more intuitive dashboard portfolio, a scalable foundation for secure access to people data, and a more self-sufficient People Analytics team equipped to maintain and expand these capabilities into the future.
Most importantly, you'll help us turn people data into better decisions — and better experiences for the people who make PlayStation extraordinary.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for PlayStation Global. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
