Staff Opportunities:
Data Visualization Director
Position Summary:
Provide strategic leadership and oversight of how Joshua Project presents its data visually, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and mobilization impact. The Director of Data Visualization is like the “art director” of data, ensuring every map, chart, and graphic not only looks professional but also clearly communicates the reality of unreached peoples and God’s redemptive purposes. This role bridges technical visualization, design excellence, and missiological purpose.
Essential Roles and Responsibilities:
- Overseeing Analysts: Supervise and mentor data analysts, ensuring consistency, clarity, and storytelling strength in charts, dashboards, and reports.
- GIS Leadership: Direct the creation and improvement of geographic visualizations (maps, layers, interactive tools), integrating people group data into spatial platforms.
- Mar/Com Collaboration: Partner with the Marketing & Communications team to align visual outputs with audience needs (e.g., donors, churches, researchers, mobilizers).
- Visualization Strategy: Set vision and standards for dashboards, maps, infographics, and publications to maximize user impact and accessibility (mobile-first, multilingual, context-sensitive).
- Innovation: Explore and implement new visualization methods (interactive maps, story-driven graphics, data animations) that serve Joshua Project’s global audiences.
- Cross-Team Leadership: Work closely with research, tech, and mobilization staff to ensure data is visualized in ways that advance the mission.
- Data Stewardship: Guard against misrepresentation of data through poor design, emphasizing clarity, integrity, and humility in how Joshua Project’s data is communicated.
