Role Overview
We are looking for a Principal Analytics Consultant who specializes in Sigma to help our customers gain tangible value from their data.
In this role, you will lead end-to-end analytics engagements and build scalable Sigma solutions that help clients realize measurable business value. You will collaborate closely with client stakeholders, internal delivery teams, and account leaders to translate business needs into intuitive, actionable analytics products. You will help shape how clients use Sigma and modern data platforms to drive better decisions, improve analytics adoption, and establish sustainable ways of working with data.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end analytics workstreams, owning planning, requirements, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, and adoption for Sigma solutions.
Own the technical approach, backlog, and sequencing of work to deliver high-quality, scalable analytics solutions aligned to each client’s business context and data environment.
Facilitate client working sessions to clarify ambiguous business needs, define analytical requirements, align stakeholders on priorities and risks, and drive decisions.
Design and develop Sigma workbooks, dashboards, governed datasets, and self-service analytics experiences that enable business users to explore and act on data.
Apply strong SQL, data modeling, and data visualization practices to connect Sigma solutions to cloud data warehouses, data marts, and analytical data structures.
Establish quality standards for analytics deliverables, reviewing solutions for technical quality, usability, performance, scalability, and alignment to best practices.
Recommend governance, security, access, workspace, and operating-model practices that support enterprise-scale Sigma adoption.
Analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize data models, workbooks, reports, platform configurations, and deployment issues when required.
Manage client expectations through clear status reporting, proactive communication, feedback loops, and transparent escalation of risks and dependencies.
Partner with account and practice leaders to identify new use cases, extension opportunities, and reusable accelerators that deepen client value and support growth of the Analytics practice.
Lead or mentor consultants and contribute to staffing, utilization, delivery planning, workstream budgets, and overall project performance.
Support backlog development and ongoing enhancement of analytics solutions after initial implementation.
About You
You are a client-focused analytics practitioner who enjoys leading delivery, solving complex data problems, and creating practical, well-designed solutions. You bring strong technical judgment, executive presence, and the ability to move comfortably between business strategy, analytics architecture, hands-on development, and team leadership.
You are comfortable operating in distributed, global teams and partnering with colleagues and clients across time zones.
Required Qualifications
