Job Description

The Role

In your role as an Analytics Consultant, you will partner closely with customers to help them integrate data, adopt analytics solutions, and translate complex requirements into effective, real‑world outcomes. This role sits within the Professional Services Analytics organization and blends technical depth, analytical rigor, and client‑facing consulting.

You will work on ambiguous, data‑intensive problems that require creative problem solving, sound judgment, and the ability to move fluidly between high‑level context and deep technical detail. This role is well suited to a strong generalist who can quickly understand complex systems, pick up new concepts and tools, and dive deep when a problem demands it.

Success in this role comes from curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to break down unfamiliar problems, synthesize information across domains, and guide customers toward practical, well‑reasoned solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the end‑to‑end delivery of analytics, working with customers and internal teams to ensure successful outcomes
• Understand customer objectives and analytical requirements, identifying risks, constraints, or scope misalignment early
• Analyze large and complex datasets to assess data quality, uncover issues, and inform analytical decisions
• Guide customers through data readiness activities and help resolve common data challenges efficiently
• Develop a strong understanding of customer data structures and processes, translating needs and insights to internal teams
• Advise customers on effective use of analytics and data‑driven solutions, adapting approaches as needs evolve
• Communicate analytical results clearly through concise reports, presentations, and visualizations
• Contribute to internal software, automation, or repeatable processes that improve analytics delivery and analytical performance
• Assess analytical results in live environments and drive continuous improvement
  
  

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
