About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Sales & Strategic Growth (The "Part Sales")
Pre-Sales Engineering: Partner with account executives to scope technical solutions, estimate level of effort (LOE), and draft Statements of Work (SOW).
Relationship Expansion: Identify "pull-through" opportunities within existing accounts to expand the firm’s footprint.
Executive Presence: Confidently present data strategies to C-suite stakeholders (CDO, CTO, CFO).
Technical Strategy & SME (The "Solution Architect")
Discovery Facilitation: Lead high-impact workshops to unearth "the question behind the question," translating vague business pain points into crisp, actionable analytical requirements.
Analytical Roadmapping : Design the end-to-end journey from raw data to business insight, prioritizing high-value use cases (e.g., EBITDA expansion, churn reduction, or operational efficiency).
Solution Design & Prototyping: Collaborate with clients to whiteboard "what success looks like," defining KPIs, metric logic, and the user experience for final data products.
Front-End & UX Excellence: Act as the SME for data storytelling, ensuring dashboards serve the specific needs of executive personas and drive actual decision-making.
Technical Translation: Serve as the bridge between client stakeholders and internal engineering teams—ensuring the backend build is strictly aligned with the frontend business goals.
Delivery & Client Management (The "Orchestrator")
Engagement Governance: Own the project budget, timeline, and resource allocation.
Escalation Management: Act as the primary point of contact for client friction; turn "red" projects "green" through proactive communication and tactical pivoting.
Value Realization: Ensure the final product isn't just "technically sound" but actually drives measurable business ROI for the client.
People Leadership (The "Coach")
Mentorship: Lead a team of data engineers and analysts, fostering their technical growth and professional development.
Culture Building: Promote a collaborative environment that balances high-performance delivery with consultant well-being.
