What you will be doing 

As a junior data consultant you will help make data-driven decisions by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Work with clients to understand their business needs and goals, and use data analysis techniques to identify trends and patterns that can inform decision-making and strategy. Our most successful consultants quickly gain additional responsibilities.

Some specific responsibilities of a junior data consultant may include:

• Collecting and organizing data from various sources, including databases, spreadsheets, and web-based tools
• Cleaning and preparing data for analysis, including correcting errors and formatting data for use in statistical software
• Analyzing data using statistical techniques and tools, such as Excel, SQL, and R or Python
• Interpreting and presenting data insights to clients in clear, easy-to-understand language
• Collaborating with clients to understand their business needs and goals, and developing data-driven recommendations to meet those needs
• Participating in ongoing professional development to stay up-to-date on the latest data analysis techniques and tools.

To be successful in this role, a junior data consultant should have strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with large datasets. They should also have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as they will be interacting with clients and presenting data insights to both technical and non-technical audiences. Familiarity with statistical software and programming languages, such as R or Python, is also helpful for this role.
