• Collaborate with clients’ senior leadership to influence data-driven transformation initiatives.
• Support pre-sales activities by translating client needs into compelling solution designs and proposals.
• Mentor cross-functional teams and foster innovation in data solutions.

Candidate Profile:

• 10+ years’ experience in BI/Data Warehousing and analytics, with 4+ years in solution architecture.
