Senior Analytics Consultant

About the Role
Our company is seeking an experienced Senior Analytics Consultant to lead our Insights Framework engagements within our dynamic data and AI consulting practice. These are structured, workshop-driven engagements that trace an organization’s strategic drivers through the business decisions, insights, KPIs, metrics, and dimensions that should inform them. In this client-facing role you’ll facilitate sessions with business and technical stakeholders, draw out and align competing priorities, and synthesize them into a clear set of analytical requirements and deliverables that connect strategy to actionable data needs — setting the stage for downstream data Lakehouse and advanced analytics work. The ideal candidate has guided large, complex organizations and executive leadership teams through analytics initiatives and is equally at home leading an executive readout and a working session with data engineers.
As a Senior Analytics Consultant at our company, you’ll help clients define what matters most — the decisions they need to make and the insights, KPIs, and metrics that drive them — and turn that into intuitive, widely adopted reporting. This position requires deep expertise in the Insights Framework methodology, KPI and metric definition, data visualization and storytelling, and data governance, along with enough technical fluency to translate business priorities into data requirements and guide clients through their broader data modernization journey.
What to expect when you join our company family
Team members at our company have a lot in common while also being part of a rich and diverse group of contributors, creating a distinct and thriving culture. Chief among our commonalities is a desire for growth and a shared unity of purpose in our professional lives. We believe that through diverse perspectives, challenging the status quo and rewarding action, we accelerate innovation and drive growth - for our clients, for ourselves and for our communities.
The professional services landscape continues to evolve. For our company, this means we have an opportunity to cement our leadership position in this industry and continue to grow our organization in increasingly exciting ways. This growth is meaningful for every team member at our company because larger companies simply see more interesting client opportunities and can attract impressively talented individuals like you.
