Here’s what you will do

Our Data Consultants identify, design and implement the tools clients need to unlock their data and deliver value. Combining delivery best practices with the latest technologies, we help solve complex business challenges. Typically, our technical data work contains significant elements of defining, designing and building data architectures, security solutions and data platforms as well as more user-facing data analysis and visualisation. 

For our technical consultants, we expect a significant level of hands-on experience with data-related technologies and a desire to maintain a balance between technical and business skills as they grow their careers within the firm. 

This is a permanent role within our Technology function. We consider flexible ways of working, that allow the best outcomes for our people and clients. Working closely with our clients is key to successful outcomes, and so travel both UK and international is a requirement.
