UX/UI and Data Visualization Designer

Why Join GovEx?


Working at GovEx means joining a dynamic team committed to improving the lives of people living in cities around the world through data-driven, innovative solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with cities at the forefront of public sector innovation and be part of transformative projects that improve government performance and outcomes.


The Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University (GovEx or the Center) seeks to hire a UX/UI and Data Visualization Designer to join our team of government, data, and performance practice experts to support senior government leaders across the United States, Canada, and Latin America to use data to get better results for residents.


The UX/UI and Data Visualization Designer plays a critical role in our organization on our team, translating complex datasets into visual stories. You will support the team of researchers and analysts to find the relevant data stories that we want to translate and lead the design of the data visualizations to communicate insights. You will support the portfolio of data projects carried out by GovEx’s Office of Research & Analytics in collaboration with our Data Visualization Solutions Specialist / D3 Developer, data engineers, data scientists, analysts, researchers, program managers, and other external collaborators and partners.


The Data Visualization Designer must be someone with experience designing data stories and visualizations, intellectually curious, and with commitment to unlocking the value of data for the public good.


The Office of Research and Analytics works to unite data with subject matter expertise on social topics that are relevant to cities and their residents. We make both data and its context readily available to be used and consumed by city employees, developers, and the public. We also provide coaching and technical assistance to cities aiming to improve their data practices.


Since 2015, GovEx has supported over 10,000 public sector leaders in 37 countries, and over 568 cities, counties, and states by providing coaching and technical assistance; research and analytics; training and capacity building; and human resource support. GovEx is a recognized leader in the provision of public sector training to upskill employees and improve data practices through self-guided courses and instructor-facilitated learning.


GovEx is dedicated to supporting governments in leveraging the power of data to identify, understand, and dismantle legacies of structural and entrenched racism. We seek candidates who are committed to using data-driven approaches to promote equity and justice in communities. For more information about GovEx, please visit https://govex.jhu.edu/.
