Job description

Senior/Managing Consultant - Data & Business Analysis, 3 months, Manchester

About us:

We help organisations navigate the future of technology, combining human expertise, emerging tech and AI to deliver better outcomes, faster.

Since 2014, we've worked side-by-side with clients to solve complex challenges, build high-performing teams, and create lasting capability.

About you:

• You care deeply about producing high-quality work that delivers real value
• You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving complex problems collaboratively
• You bring strong expertise in your craft, alongside a willingness to keep learning
• You communicate clearly and build trust quickly with clients and teammates
• You're pragmatic, adaptable and outcome-focused
• You value low-ego collaboration and enjoy working as part of multidisciplinary teams

What you'll bring to the table:

• Strong business analysis, consulting and problem-solving skills, ideally in data, analytics or digital environments
• Ability to work with stakeholders to uncover the real business problem rather than simply capture stated requirements
• Ability to translate between business and technical teams, turning sometimes ambiguous needs into clear, actionable requirements
• Good understanding of data, analytics and data products - enough to work effectively with data engineers, analysts and architects and get into the detail when needed
• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation and communication skills, including confidence working directly with client stakeholders
• Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle, from discovery and requirements through delivery, adoption and continuous improvement
• A strong focus on business outcomes, adoption and value, rather than seeing delivery as complete once a technical solution has been built
• Curious, proactive and comfortable taking ownership, challenging thinking and bringing structure to ambiguous problems
