Data Analytics – Principal Consultant

Role Overview:

At our Microsoft Analytics Specialised partner we believe in empowering organizations through data and technology. As a Principal Consultant, your mission is to lead technical projects that not only deliver exceptional results but also elevate client satisfaction to new heights. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the technical direction, ensuring projects are not only delivered with precision but drive impactful outcomes. With occasional travel across the UK and abroad, you’ll be the face of technical expertise for clients looking to leverage data for business growth.

The Problem We Solve Together

Our clients need data-driven insights to thrive in a competitive market, but they often lack the in-house expertise to make the most of their data. They need trusted advisors who can bring the technical depth, strategic vision, and hands-on experience to guide them. As our Principal Consultant, you are the answer to this need, providing direction, governance, and a clear path to success.

Your Role in the Journey

You’re not just managing projects—you’re a leader guiding our clients through every step. You will:

  • Lead & Govern: Manage client projects from inception to completion, ensuring top-notch delivery and outcome.
  • Strategic Partnering: Help clients plan strategically, anticipating risks and mitigating challenges before they arise.
  • Drive Growth: Engage in business development, support sales initiatives, and ensure clients know they have a partner invested in their success.
  • Technical Leadership: Provide escalation support and technical expertise, maintain your certifications, and drive best practices across projects.
  • Mentorship: Grow our talent by mentoring team members, enhancing their technical skills and client engagement capabilities.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, your expertise in Microsoft Azure data services (such as Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, and Databricks) and data engineering will directly impact our clients’ ability to make data-informed decisions. You will:

  • Streamline Data Integration: Design and implement ETL processes that transform raw data into valuable insights.
  • Enable Predictive Analysis: Utilize statistical methods and machine learning to help clients forecast and plan effectively.
  • Empower Insights: Use tools like Power BI and Python to create actionable and accessible data visualizations.
  • Architect Solutions: Develop and manage data warehouses, data lakes, and Lakehouse architectures that provide the foundation for robust, scalable data ecosystems.

The Expertise You Bring

With 5+ years of experience in Microsoft data technologies and 10+ years in professional services, you understand the demands and nuances of client-facing roles. You’ve led BI and data warehousing projects in agile environments and are an expert at navigating complex technical landscapes. Your background in pre-sales and client relationship management empowers you to make strategic decisions that drive both project and client success.

Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity

  • Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the balance of remote work with a monthly office visit for team collaboration.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: From healthcare to pension and life assurance, we invest in your well-being.
