About Salesforce

The Technical Architect - Tableau Next is an execution-focused analytics architect responsible for designing and delivering migrations from legacy Business Intelligence and reporting platforms (Cognos, Business Objects, MicroStrategy, Power BI, Looker, legacy Tableau Server) to Tableau Next. As a member of the Strategic Migration CoE and Migration Factory, you will act as the primary technical authority for the Tableau Next track - owning the analytics platform architecture, legacy BI content migration strategy, data source re-architecture, governance model design and Tableau Next feature adoption roadmap. You will combine deep Tableau expertise with strong data engineering and cloud data platform knowledge to ensure that dashboards, data sources, calculated fields, permissions and governance structures are migrated with full fidelity, improved performance and accelerated time-to-insight for the client's business users.
Responsibilities:
- transition from legacy BI platforms to Tableau Next - including dashboard migration, data source re-architecture, semantic layer design and governance model.
- Design the legacy BI content migration strategy - inventorying, assessing and prioritising all legacy reports, dashboards, datasets and calculated fields for migration, retirement or rebuild in Tableau Next.
- Architect the Tableau Next data source framework - designing live connections, published data sources, virtual connections, data policies and extract schedules optimised for performance and governance.
- Design the Tableau Next site and governance model - including project hierarchy, permission groups, content certification workflow, data quality warnings and usage analytics configuration.
- Own the cloud data platform integration architecture - designing connections between Tableau Next and Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Azure Synapse and Salesforce Data Cloud as analytical data sources.
- Lead the semantic layer and data model migration - translating legacy BI semantic models, universe layers (Business Objects) and subject areas (Cognos) into Tableau Next published data source designs and calculations.
- Define end-to-end data lineage for all analytics objects - mapping source data fields through transformation layers to Tableau Next calculated fields, ensuring business logic equivalence is preserved or improved.
- Lead functional and technical discovery workshops with client business intelligence, data engineering and business analytics teams to assess legacy report complexity, data source dependencies and user adoption patterns.
- Manage the functional depth of Source vs. Target systems - maintaining deep understanding of how legacy BI platform features (Cognos report types, Business Objects universes, Power BI DAX measures) translate to Tableau Next capabilities.
- Serve as a Trusted Advisor to the client, driving conversations with CDOs, Analytics leaders and Enterprise Architects to shape the Tableau Next migration roadmap, data governance strategy and self-service analytics vision.
- Establish best-in-class standards for the Tableau Next migration practice - building reusable dashboard migration templates, data source connection templates, naming convention standards and governance configuration playbooks as factory accelerators.
- Lead performance optimisation - profiling legacy dashboard performance baselines, designing Tableau Next data extracts and published data sources to meet or exceed baseline performance, and establishing performance monitoring.
- Lead cutover planning and execution - including legacy BI platform deprecation scheduling, user access migration, Tableau Next URL/bookmark migration for key dashboards and post-go-live self-service training.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks proactively - data source credential migration, calculated field logic parity gaps, row-level security re-implementation, extract refresh SLA continuity and legacy report complexity underestimation.
- Contribute to the Migration Factory by building reusable Tableau Next migration playbooks, dashboard assessment tools, data source templates and performance benchmarking scripts to reduce wave delivery time.
