  • You have experience in identification of Critical Data Elements, and documentation of data lineage.
  • You're experienced and comfortable with the common tools in this space. We use a combination of Alteryx, SQL Server, PowerBI, Tableau and Python but no worries if you're not an expert in these; experience with other common analytics tools is also fine.

  • You have proven experience in business development including developing go-to-market material and proposals.
  • You have experience developing and managing project plans and ensuring project budgets are met.
  • You have proven experience coaching and guiding junior members of your team.

We are a team devoted to collaboration, diversity, transparency and innovation. Our vision is to create a unique culture in the consulting market based around teamwork and a structure that offers everyone a voice and the encouragement to help us build the practice. Our ambition is to hire a highly diverse team combining various personalities, cultures and professional backgrounds, and offer them the opportunity to directly deal with clients, take responsibility for business development, drive their careers, and help us in defining our strategy, culture and processes.
