Senior Manager, Business Analytics Consultant

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Business Analytics Consultant to serve as the primary relationship point of contact for the client's business and data stakeholders across Romania, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Belgium, and Greece. This role is focused on building and nurturing trusted relationships across multiple countries and cultures, understanding local business priorities, and translating them into Data & AI opportunities. The consultant will act as a strategic advisor, account growth driver, and bridge between the client's regional stakeholders and our specialist delivery teams.

• Act as a trusted advisor to regional stakeholders, providing continuity and a consistent point of contact across the account
• Support business development activities including proposals, estimations, workshops, presentations, and stakeholder alignment sessions across the five countries
• Coordinate with delivery and specialist teams, mobilizing the right expertise when opportunities progress from concept to implementation
• Maintain continuity and momentum from initial conversation through opportunity shaping, validation, and handover to delivery
• Grow the Data & AI opportunity pipeline across the five countries, contributing directly to account revenue and strategic expansion
• Navigate multi-country complexity, managing differing timelines, priorities, decision-making structures, and stakeholder expectations across regions

Requirements

• Several years of experience in client-facing and stakeholder-management roles, with a proven ability to build trust and credibility at multiple levels of an organization
• Strong commercial mindset, with demonstrated experience identifying, shaping, and progressing new business opportunities within existing accounts
• Effective communication skills, able to engage confidently with both senior business leaders and technical teams, translating between the two
• Structured and proactive working style, capable of managing multiple parallel relationships and opportunities across geographies without losing quality or momentum
• Familiarity with the Databricks ecosystem, including Databricks, Spark, and SQL, along with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and an understanding of what they enable and where they fit in a modern data platform
• Familiarity with AI and GenAI concepts, including Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and MLflow, along with common AI solution patterns and the ability to discuss use cases and value
• Understanding of data architecture and integration, including data architecture principles, data integration patterns, and cloud infrastructure and data security
• Awareness of data governance frameworks, policies, and data quality management, along with data lineage, cataloging, and stewardship practices
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher
