Senior Data Visualization Specialist
We are seeking a Senior Data Visualization Specialist with deep expertise in transforming fragmented, outdated reporting environments into cohesive, user-friendly, and insight-driven experiences. This role is central to a high-impact digital modernization initiative supporting public safety, regulatory improvement, and program effectiveness through advanced analytics and AI/ML integration.
