You'll be responsible for… 1. Delivering and Leading Analytics Projects You will deliver — and often lead — analytics and data engineering projects, including: Configuring and implementing cloud and database infrastructure using tools such as Google Cloud, Google BigQuery and Google Cloud SQL Transforming and modelling data using tools such as dbt, Dataform and Cube Developing dashboards, explorations and data visualisations using tools such as Looker, Preset, Power BI and Superset Developing test plans and testing data to ensure it is of high quality Running and leading projects using Agile scrum/kanban techniques, and ensuring deliverables are in a reviewable state before sprint ceremonies Leading technical discussions with clients where you propose approaches, defend decisions and control the narrative on your workstream. Developing and implementing monitoring and optimisation strategies for development workloads 2. Architecting Solutions Leading the discovery of, and documenting, business logic and data definitions using language understandable to a non-technical audience, using terms they can read and validate Working with prospects, customers and RA sales/senior management teams to create solution architectures Designing data flows, data models and data orchestrations 3. Owning Project Blockers and Risk A Senior Analytics Consultant is commercially accountable for the success of their engagement — not just technically contributing to it. This means: Identifying blockers early and driving them to closure yourself, rather than waiting for a Delivery Manager or colleague to formalise the next step on your behalf Proactively calling alignment sessions when ambiguity exists — on KPI definitions, data models, or business logic — rather than assuming agreement has been reached Committing to and booking follow-up actions with clients immediately during or after a session, not "as soon as I can" Ensuring that critical preparatory work is complete before going offline, and escalating delivery risk in advance if it cannot be 4. Managing Your Own Readiness Obtaining Google Cloud Data Engineer certification within six months of you starting this role, if you don't already have it Maintaining your dbt and Looker developer certifications Arriving on a project already proficient in the agreed toolset, or having flagged skill gaps with your project manager before they surface in client-facing sessions Staying updated with the latest data engineering technologies and methodologies, including gaining familiarity with new tools and techniques ready for work you are likely to be assigned to 5. Mentoring and Internal Communication Mentoring and guiding more junior consultants Using daily standups to proactively signal progress, flag risks, and name dependencies — not just describe what you're currently doing Escalating clearly when blocked or uncertain rather than assuming things are "probably fine" 6. Collaboration Collaborating closely with our Head of Delivery and CEO to align analytics and data engineering work with client and business goals.
