About the team

The Studyportals Analytics and Consulting Team provides data-driven, evidence-based consultancy services to universities, business schools and higher education providers to support them with institutional and market challenges and opportunities. Our work helps institutions identify improvement strategies for enhanced performance, resilience and acceleration. We use our unique global Studyportals data combined with other public, institutional or client data, analytics and management consulting to provide broad consultancy capabilities from strategy design to benchmarking analysis.

You will be part of a small product development team of four, alongside a manager/Tableau developer, an analytics engineer and an analytics consultant. This team is part of the Analytics & Consulting Team, which has a total of 13 people from 8 different countries.

Responsibilities

• We have a range of products that are mostly Tableau dashboards that clients in higher education pay to use. You would be one of the team that manages this portfolio of over a dozen dashboard modules;
• The core responsibilities are to help maintain, improve, expand and manage our suite of Tableau dashboard modules, and help manage them in Tableau Cloud;
• You will own some of our existing and new projects and will be expected to be able to develop dashboards based on relatively high-level requirements;
• You will help us improve our hosting of dashboards on Tableau Cloud, for example helping us optimize the data structure and improve the refresh speed of extracts;
• You will assist us in taking documentation and standardisation further and helping us find a middle ground between flexible innovation and sustainable structurization. This includes the “last boring 20%” of cleaning up projects and writing documentation;
• While our team is relatively senior, we do want to hire a junior and/or medior in the future, so you will be expected to help educate them in Tableau dashboard development in time.

• 5-10 years’ experience in dashboard design is an absolute must have;

• Tableau Desktop and/or Tableau Cloud admin experience is a huge plus. Certifications in these platforms are greatly appreciated;
• Solid understanding of SQL and data architecture, especially the way it interacts with visualisation platforms like Tableau;
• Experience in product development ownership, standardization and documentation are greatly appreciated;
• You are capable of owning a product or project, independently coming up with your own ideas and tasks, and adapt them to changes in priorities;
• You can manage internal stakeholders and can protect your own boundaries in the face of their needs;
• You are an open and fun teammate – independent yet supportive – thriving in an entrepreneurial atmosphere;
• You enjoy an environment with open and honest feedback;
• You have EU citizenship or a valid residency/work permit;
• You are fluent in English (no Dutch required, but a plus).

• A role that allows you to hone your dashboarding skills, where you will learn to understand the higher education market and design user-friendly dashboards that are engaging and informative;
• Competitive salary including a bonus and pension;
• 32 vacation days (including bank holidays) you have the flexibility to take your holidays whenever you want (e.g. be off on Chinese New Year instead of King’s Day);
• Possibility to buy/sell 5 vacation days out of your annual balance;
• Hybrid work of three days per week from home, two from our Eindhoven office (generally Mondays and Wednesdays);
• Employee referral bonuses. Studyportals is always hiring and it’s just an extra chance to work with friends (and earn some extra cash!);
• An annual personal development budget, because personal growth is KEY!
• Reimbursement of your work-related travel costs;
• Possibility to work from abroad 2 times a year;
• An informal, entrepreneurial, international and flexible atmosphere where self-initiative is highly appreciated;
• Our office is in the centre of Eindhoven (Strijp-S) in the Klokgebouw, 30 seconds from the Strijp-S station and five minutes from central station;
• Possibility to grow along with a rapidly growing company;
• The opportunity to help revolutionize the worldwide study-choice market;
• A company environment that is serious about having fun with almost everything we do, including regular memorable team events and a wide range of games and activities during lunchtime or after work;
• The opportunity to make our world a little better by increasing international access to education and be at the core of a study choice giant that the world education market is desperately waiting for.
