Our client is seeking a detail-oriented Senior Business Consultant to join their Analytics team. This role focuses primarily on process and data analysis, ensuring data quality, consistency, and alignment across various systems and reports. The successful candidate will work closely with business and technical stakeholders to maintain data governance, validate and clean data, and establish standardized data definitions to ensure accuracy across reports and dashboards.

This is a hands-on, process-driven role requiring strong SQL skills for data validation, data quality checks, and ensuring that all reporting is consistent and aligns with business needs.

• Process Optimization & Documentation: Develop and maintain detailed process flows to streamline and standardize data reporting and analysis procedures.
• Data Validation: Review and verify data accuracy across various systems and ensure alignment of data fields and reports. Perform quality control checks and track data discrepancies.
• Reporting Consistency: Monitor and ensure reports, dashboards, and data fields are consistent across all platforms and stakeholders. Troubleshoot and address issues as they arise.
• Collaboration with Stakeholders: Work closely with business and technical teams to identify areas of improvement in data processes and report inconsistencies, ensuring alignment with business needs.
• SQL for Data Analysis: Use SQL to extract, validate, and verify data from various sources, ensuring accuracy and consistency for reporting and analysis.
• Support Data-Driven Decision-Making: Assist stakeholders with process optimization by providing clean, validated data that can be used to make informed business decisions.

Capabilities for Success:

• Process Focused: You are highly detail-oriented and process-driven, with the ability to develop, document, and implement efficient processes for data management and reporting.
• Analytical Mindset: You possess strong critical thinking skills to analyze and verify data, identify inconsistencies, and ensure alignment across systems.
• Data Governance Expertise: You are familiar with data governance practices, ensuring data integrity and quality across all reports and systems.
• Collaboration: You work well with cross-functional teams and are able to communicate complex data-related issues in a simple, clear manner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong SQL Skills: You are proficient in SQL and are able to write complex queries to verify and validate data across systems.
• Attention to Detail: You have a meticulous approach to data accuracy, ensuring that all reporting outputs align with business objectives and maintain high standards of quality.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in data analysis, process optimization, or business consulting. Background in data quality assurance, process management, or similar roles strongly preferred.
• Industry Experience Preferred: Cruise, hospitality, travel, or other service-based industries with a focus on data-driven processes.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or a related discipline. Advanced degree is a plus.

Technical Proficiency:

• SQL: Intermediate-to-Expert SQL skills for data extraction, validation, and analysis.
• Data Visualization Tools: Proficiency in tools like Tableau or Power BI for reporting and dashboard creation, though focus will be on ensuring data integrity rather than creating insights.
• Data Management & Governance: Knowledge of best practices for data quality, validation, and governance.

Note:

This is not an engineering role. The focus is on ensuring data integrity, validating reports, and improving processes to support accurate and efficient data-driven decision-making.
