The Impact You'll Have
A significant part of this role is Power BI — making sure complex analytical outputs translate into dashboards that B2B clients can act on. Beyond reporting, you'll build predictive models, conduct rigorous analysis, and help consulting and strategy teams make confident recommendations backed by evidence.
Your work is embedded in integrated engagements where data, creative, and technology have to work together. You'll also help shape how the broader analytics team grows — raising the bar on craft, consistency, and client impact.

- Set internal standards for Power BI development across client engagements
Analyze Data and Build Predictive Models

- Build and deploy predictive models using Python, R, and SQL — including clustering, ensemble methods, and neural networks
Mentor and Elevate the Team

- Contribute to internal best practices and capability-building across the analytics practice
Collaborate Across Disciplines
- Partner with consulting, strategy, creative, and engineering teams to connect analytical outputs to broader client initiatives
