About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, detail‑minded data analyst consultant to join our global business development and strategy team. In this role, you will be embedded at Monks, serving as a critical partner dedicated to supporting one of our most prestigious, high‑profile client accounts. If you look forward to untangling complex business problems, driving data‑led strategy, and thriving in a fast‑moving, collaborative environment, we want to hear from you.

Note on Location & Structure: This is a contract role based out of Austin, Texas, with a hybrid schedule requiring you to be on‑site 3 days per week.

• Sharp Communicator: Exceptional presentation and communication skills, with a proven ability to distill complex technical data into clear, actionable narratives for stakeholders at all levels.

Collaboration & Strategy

• Bridge the Gap: Partner directly with data product managers and data engineers to translate complex business needs into sharp, actionable analytical requirements.
• Influence the Roadmap: Communicate your analysis and strategic insights clearly and effectively to product and leadership teams to directly shape the client’s overarching product strategy.
• Proactive Communication: Transparently share and demystify data methodologies and results with a diverse, fast‑moving set of global stakeholders.
