Tableau is on a roll. After its successful IPO in 2013, the data visualization platform continued to expand its footprint in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood and add employees.
Last month Tableau announced a big fourth quarter with stock rising more than 12 percent as the company received attention from Fast Company and USA Today for its ambitious plans to get everyday consumers using its software.
Now Tableau is seeking a Director of Web Clients to lead a team of high-performing engineers. The position involves cultivating a collaborative culture, organizing work across a broad range of products, and establishing long-term goals. Tableau is looking for a proven leader with a passion for technology, engineering experience, and the ability to execute on challenging roadmaps.
