Working knowledge of large language models, AI agents and evaluation approaches, sufficient to establish controls and determine when human review is required.

Executive presence and exceptional communication. You turn ambiguity and complex evidence into crisp choices, recommendations and action.

Preferred experience

Experience in strategy consulting, advanced analytics consulting or a high‑growth consumer or technology company, particularly where you shaped executive decisions and transformation agendas.

Proficiency with SQL and familiarity with modern BI, semantic-layer and analytics engineering platforms such as Looker, Tableau, Power BI and dbt. Hands‑on coding is not the core of this role.
