Job Description
We are seeking an exceptional Vice President, Web UI/UX & BI Developer to lead the user experience strategy for our data analytics and reporting platform. This leadership role combines deep expertise in data visualization, interactive design, and modern web application development. You will oversee the creation of elegant, high-fidelity dashboards and applications that transform complex data into actionable insights for executives, and decision-makers across the firm. From Power BI solutions to custom React/Angular executive dashboards, you will ensure all interfaces are intuitive, mobile-friendly, and deliver exceptional user experiences that drive adoption and business impact. Your mandate is to bridge the Data & AI department and the business — translating unified data into actionable analytics, executive-grade dashboards, and institutional-quality visualizations that inform investment decisions and serve our LP relationships.
You will work directly with senior stakeholders across the firm's vertical businesses and corporate functions — including Real Estate, Private Credit, Investment Ops, Legal & Compliance — designing both firmwide views and business-specific reports. The ideal candidate is a forward thinker who constantly asks how data can be presented more clearly and more powerfully, combining the analytical rigor of an investment professional with the design sensibility of a UI/UX engineer.
Key Responsibilities
UX/UI Strategy & Leadership
- Define and execute comprehensive UX/UI strategy for data analytics and reporting platform
- Establish and evangelize a set of UX patterns and visualization best practices across all tools — Power BI, Sigma, and custom builds — ensuring consistency in layout conventions, color systems, typography, iconography, interaction patterns, and data labeling so that every dashboard and report feels like it came from a single, intentional design system regardless of the underlying tool.
- Establish design systems, component libraries, and patterns that enable consistent, scalable dashboard creation
- Champion user-centric design principles and advocate for usability across all platform interfaces
Data Visualization & Design Excellence
- Design and deliver executive-level dashboards that provide senior leadership with firmwide visibility: fund raising intelligence, cross-fund performance, AUM trends, portfolio company health, liquidity, and pipeline — presented in a format that drives decisions, not just awareness.
- Develop interactive analytical applications for deal rooms, scenario modeling, and portfolio deep-dives using Streamlit, Dash, or React-based front ends connected to the Databricks Lakehouse.
- Design compelling, intuitive data visualizations that communicate complex insights clearly and effectively
- Apply data visualization best practices: appropriate chart types, color theory, typography, and visual hierarchy
- Create interactive visualizations with drill-down capabilities, filtering, and exploration features
- Design mobile-friendly visualizations that maintain clarity and interactivity on smaller screens
Power BI Dashboard Development & Governance
- Lead Power BI dashboard design and development for enterprise-scale reporting
- Build reusable Power BI templates and patterns for common reporting scenarios
- Implement Power BI best practices: DAX optimization, performance tuning, row-level security
- Design governance framework: naming conventions, data model standards, and dashboard review processes
- Create Power BI Center of Excellence: documentation, training materials, and support for dashboard creators
- Partner with data engineering to optimize data models for analytics and reporting
Custom Executive Dashboards & Web Applications
- Design and develop custom executive dashboards using React or Angular with TypeScript
- Build high-fidelity, pixel-perfect interfaces that meet premium design standards
- Implement responsive design: seamless experiences across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
- Create interactive charts and visualizations using D3.js, ECharts, or similar libraries
- Implement real-time data updates and WebSocket integration for live dashboards
- Build custom UI components and design system documentation
- Ensure performance optimization: lazy loading, code splitting, and efficient rendering
Performance & Optimization
- Optimize dashboard loading times and render performance
- Implement client-side caching strategies and data pagination
- Monitor frontend performance metrics and identify optimization opportunities
- Partner with backend teams to optimize APIs for analytics queries
Security, Compliance & Data Governance

- Ensure data security in transit and at rest for sensitive analytics
- Comply with firm information security guidelines and data classification standards
- Implement audit logging for dashboard access and data exports
- Partner with Infosec and Compliance on security assessments and requirements
User Enablement & Documentation
- Create comprehensive documentation and help content for dashboards and tools
- Develop training materials and conduct user onboarding sessions
- Establish feedback channels and gather user requests for continuous improvement
- Support analytics and reporting teams with technical guidance and best practices
Team Leadership & Collaboration
- Stay ahead of the curve on data visualization trends, BI tooling, and analytical best practices — bringing forward-thinking ideas on how to present firmwide and business-specific information more effectively.
- Partner with Data Products team on data access and integration requirements
- Work with business stakeholders to understand reporting needs and prioritize development
- Lead design reviews and establish quality standards across all dashboards and applications
Required Qualifications

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Web Developer
Verify your degree aligns with the role
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to web development. A computer science or software engineering degree clears this cleanly. An unrelated degree paired with years of development work may trigger a Request for Evidence.
Use OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations
Look up the prevailing wage for Web Developer (SOC 15-1254) in your target city before you negotiate. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above that level, so knowing the floor protects you.
Target cap-exempt employers for faster timelines
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated entities are cap-exempt. You can start any time of year without entering the April lottery, which matters if you're approaching an OPT expiration.
Find sponsors using Migrate Mate's LCA data
Filter by web development job titles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active Labor Condition Application filing history. That filing history confirms an employer has sponsored H-1B roles in your occupation, not just claimed openness to it.
Confirm your employer is E-Verify enrolled
If you're on STEM OPT and transitioning to H-1B, your current employer must be E-Verify enrolled. Ask HR before your cap-gap period begins to avoid an authorization gap if your OPT expires before October 1.
Review the I-129 specialty occupation evidence early
Ask your employer's attorney what evidence will support the specialty occupation classification for your specific role. Job descriptions listing a degree as 'preferred' rather than 'required' are a common source of RFEs for web development petitions.
H-1B Visa Web Developer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Web Developer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, software engineering, or information technology. USCIS evaluates the job description, not just the title. Roles where any degree satisfies the requirement, regardless of field, are more likely to receive a specialty occupation RFE.
How do I find Web Developer jobs where the employer has a real H-1B filing history?
Search Web Developer roles on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers based on DOL Labor Condition Application filing data. An employer that has filed LCAs for comparable roles has an established process, which reduces delays and signals genuine sponsorship capacity rather than a vague openness to H-1B hiring.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B as a Web Developer?
Yes. Under AC21 portability, you can change to a new employer in the same or a similar occupational classification once your I-140 has been approved and your I-485 has been pending for 180 days or more. Outside of that scenario, your new employer must file a fresh H-1B transfer petition before you start work.
What happens to my H-1B status if I'm laid off from a Web Developer role?
You get a 60-day grace period after your employment ends to find a new sponsoring employer, file for a change of status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition during that window. USCIS does not grant extensions of the grace period, so starting your job search immediately matters.
Does working as a freelance or contract Web Developer affect my H-1B status?
H-1B status is tied to a specific employer-employee relationship. Freelancing for clients or taking on independent contracting work outside your sponsoring employer's scope can violate your status, even if the work is web development. Some staffing arrangements are valid H-1B structures, but the placement employer must maintain the legal employment relationship and control over the work.
