Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. The volume and complexity of both physical and virtual border crossings require big data solutions to promote efficient trade and travel. The selected Data Visualization Analyst will aid in the ongoing development of analytics-based dashboards and reports to address emerging threats and perform complex data analysis across the large volume and data holdings available within CBP. The goal of the organization is to develop and disseminate products internally and to other DHS components, law enforcement and intelligence community agencies to support their specific mission sets. The candidate will perform in a mission-driven environment and work in an open, bull-pen environment, managing simultaneous taskings and developing professional Intelligence Community and Law Enforcement reporting material that tells a succinct, compelling story through visually appealing charting layouts.

Develop and implement interactive dashboards, reports, and visualizations using BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Qlik to track key performance indicators and model metrics.
Use SQL for querying relational databases and performing data extraction and manipulation; collect, clean, process, and organize large datasets from various sources such as databases, APIs, and flat files to ensure data accuracy and integrity.
Multi-task and simultaneously support immediate graphics/design requests while progressing on long‑term projects.
Perform exploratory data analysis using statistical techniques to identify significant trends, patterns, correlations, and anomalies.
Complete project tasks including data collection, mining, data and text analytics, clustering analysis, pattern recognition, extraction, automated classification and categorization, and entity resolution to implement and enhance automated risk assessment.
Interpret analysis results and communicate findings and insights (e.g., mission impacts, limitations, analytical methods) to technical and non‑technical audiences through presentations and written reports.
Monitor data quality, investigate discrepancies, and contribute to the development and enforcement of data governance standards.
Minimum Qualifications
Must meet one of the following experience/education requirements: HS Diploma/GED with at least 15 years’ experience; AS/AA with at least 13 years’ experience; BS/BA with at least 7 years’ experience; MS/MA/MBA with at least 5 years’ experience; PhD with at least 3 years’ experience.
Experience in data visualization analysis, graphic design, or a similar role (prior work product examples required).
Competency in standard professional graphic design applications and ability to create or adjust vector graphics.
Proficiency in a programming language commonly used for data analysis, such as Python or R, and related packages for development and analysis.
Knowledge or experience with data wrangling and cleansing, and proficiency in SQL for querying relational databases and performing data extraction and manipulation.
Ability to convert basic PowerPoint, handwritten, or verbally communicated concepts provided by government customers into professional‑grade products that effectively convey the customer’s message.
Preferred Qualifications
Current front‑end UI/UX experience.
Familiarity with cloud data platforms and services such as AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, or Databricks.
Understanding of data warehousing principles and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes.
Experience working within an Agile development environment.
High level of self‑motivation, desire to deliver stellar solutions, and willingness to work in a distributed team environment.
