Job description

About Saarthee

Saarthee is a Global Strategy, Analytics, Technology and AI consulting company, where our passion for helping others fuels our approach and our products and solutions. We are a one-stop shop for all things data and analytics. Unlike other analytics consulting firms that are technology or platform specific, Saarthee’s holistic and tool-agnostic approach is unique in the marketplace. Our Consulting Value Chain framework meets our customers where they are in their data journey. Our diverse and global team works with one objective in mind: Our Customers’ Success. At Saarthee, we are passionate about guiding organizations towards insights-fueled success. That’s why we call ourselves Saarthee — inspired by the Sanskrit word ‘Saarthi’, which means charioteer, trusted guide, or companion. Cofounded in 2015 by Mrinal Prasad and Shikha Miglani, Saarthee already encompasses all the components of Data Analytics consulting. Saarthee is based out of Philadelphia, USA with offices in the UK and India.

Overview

We are looking for Analytics Leads who can combine deep analytical thinking with strong project and people management skills. This is a client-facing role where you’ll lead complex, cross-functional data projects, work closely with global stakeholders, and act as the bridge between business strategy and data execution. The ideal candidate is hands-on, analytical, solutions-oriented, and equally comfortable managing technical teams, engaging with clients, and driving results. You will be working closely with the Founders and leadership across Saarthee's Onsite and Offshore teams, ensuring high-quality delivery and client success.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently lead client engagements and manage global analytics delivery teams across time zones.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a strategic advisor to institutionalize data-driven decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to create business impact through data and drive end-to-end project execution.
• Use project management tools to lead stakeholder discussions, track deliverables, manage risks, and ensure timely outcomes.
• Deliver high-quality analytics solutions including data modeling, insights generation, and actionable recommendations aligned to client KPIs.
• Design and implement robust analytics and reporting platforms, including tool selection (ETL, database, visualisation).
• Consult on advanced statistical models and machine learning strategies where applicable.
• Guide, mentor, and grow a team of consultants; lead knowledge sharing and capability-building initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams for smooth project ramp-ups, analyst deployment, and quality assurance.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in data analytics, project management, or client engagement roles.
• Strong analytical background with proficiency in SQL, Tableau, Python, or similar tools. (Experience with Knime is a plus).
• Proven experience leading pilot projects, managing multiple workstreams, and solving open-ended business problems.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and critical thinking skills.
• Ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and deliver high-quality outcomes independently and as a team leader.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation packages that reward performance and ownership.
• Accelerated career growth in a startup environment backed by structured mentorship and leadership exposure.
• A collaborative and high-performance culture built on trust, empathy, and results.
• Exposure to global clients and strategic business challenges across industries.
• Comprehensive health insurance and wellness benefits.
• An inclusive, people-first workplace that values continuous learning, innovation, and transparency.
