Our headquarters sit in Hollister, California, but 80 % of our staff work from wherever they feel most productive.In the last twelve months we added $12 M in billable revenue, boosted our Net Promoter Score from 62 to 78, and opened two new market verticals – all because we give our analysts the space (and tools) to turn noisy data into clear business decisions. Why this role exists nowOur pipeline shows a 35 % YoY increase in engagements that require deep functional analysis of legacy ERP systems, migration to cloud‑based data warehouses, and rapid prototyping of dashboards for C‑suite stakeholders. The senior analyst we bring on will own the bridge between client business goals and technical execution, ensuring that every insight we deliver is both actionable and measurable.In short: the team needs a seasoned consultant who can wear both the “business analyst” hat and the “systems analyst” hat without breaking a sweat. What you’ll spend your days doing - Lead requirement‑gathering workshops with client product owners in Hollister, California and remote locations, turning vague business problems into concrete functional specifications. - Translate those specs into data‑model designs, SQL queries, and Power BI visualizations that answer the “so what?” question for decision‑makers.- Conduct feasibility studies for legacy system integrations, documenting data flow diagrams, API contracts, and migration risk assessments. - Mentor a crew of three junior analysts, reviewing their deliverables, coaching them on stakeholder communication, and tracking their progress against a 4‑week sprint cadence. - Own the end‑to‑end delivery of at least two concurrent consulting engagements, each worth $250 k–$500 k in billable work, maintaining a utilization rate of 75 % or higher. - Provide post‑implementation support for 30 days, measuring adoption metrics (e.g., dashboard usage, report accuracy) and presenting a “lessons learned” report to the client’s executive board.Who you are - 5‑8 years of experience as a business analyst, functional analyst, or systems analyst in a consulting environment, with a track record of delivering data‑centric solutions that improve client KPIs by at least 10 %. - Proven mastery of SQL (ANSI‑92+, window functions) and data‑visualization platforms – Power BI is a must; experience with Tableau or Looker is a plus. - Comfortable writing functional documents in JIRA, Confluence, or Azure DevOps and converting them into technical tickets for developers.- Strong analytical mindset: you can look at a raw dataset, spot outliers, and explain the story to a non‑technical audience in under five minutes. - Excellent written and verbal communication – you’ll be drafting executive slide decks, facilitating remote workshops, and occasionally speaking on a client call from a coffee shop in Hollister, California. - A collaborative spirit: you’ll partner with data engineers, product managers, and UX designers, and you’ll celebrate the wins together (even the small ones).Tools & technologies you’ll use every day 1.

A human moment > “I still remember the first time I walked into a Zoom call with a client from the Midwest and they asked me to explain a Power BI drill‑through in plain English. I pulled up a quick sketch on my tablet, walked them through the steps, and we both laughed when the client said, ‘I finally get why my CFO was nervous about that spreadsheet!’ That moment reminded me why I love consulting – turning data into a conversation everyone can have.” – Maya,Senior Analyst, 2023 1.Click the “” button below and upload a tailored resume (highlighting any Power BI or SQL projects). 2.
