Data and Analytics Consultants help institutions strengthen their data foundations, reporting capability, governance, and decision‑making.

This role often works alongside ERP, student system, finance, HR, or operational modernisation initiatives. The focus is not only on dashboards or tools, but on the data structures, definitions, governance, reporting processes, and institutional confidence needed to make data useful and trusted.

You may support clients to improve reporting readiness, define data requirements, assess current‑state challenges, and design practical approaches to data enablement.

What You May Work On:

You may support clients to assess data and reporting maturity, develop data strategies, support analytics roadmaps, identify data quality challenges, define governance structures, clarify reporting requirements, and support ERP, student system, finance, HR, or enterprise data transformation initiatives.

Experience We Commonly Look For:

Common experience includes data strategy, analytics, reporting, business intelligence, data governance, ERP and student systems, higher education data environments, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, data warehouses, reporting platforms, and institutional reporting.

You May Be a Strong Fit If:

You can help institutions move from fragmented reporting and inconsistent definitions toward clearer, more trusted, decision‑ready data.

You understand that effective analytics depends on governance, context, quality, ownership, and adoption—not tools alone.

Expression of Interest:

If your experience aligns with this capability area, we welcome expressions of interest for our talent network. Please share your CV or professional profile, along with a short note outlining your relevant experience and the types of opportunities you would be interested in.
