We are seeking a Data Analytics / Business Intelligence Consultant to support Finance and HR teams in designing and maintaining position-level change tracking and analytics. This role is a 24-month contract position that has the possibility to convert to the client at the end.

This role is focused on transforming complex, event-driven position lifecycle data (creation, elimination, modification, replacement, overlap, etc.) into structured, auditable data models and clear, actionable reporting. You’ll work with messy, multi-source datasets and collaborate closely with Finance, HR, and Operations stakeholders to deliver insights that explain what changed, when it changed, and why.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain data models that track position lifecycle events over time
  • Develop data structures linking original positions to subsequent changes, including replacements and transitions
  • Build transformation logic to capture granular position changes, including:
  • Cost center updates
  • Position eliminations and replacements
  • Level or grade changes
  • Start/end date modifications
  • Overlapping positions (backfills, transitions, phased replacements)
  • Create dashboards and reporting views that clearly communicate:
  • What changed
  • When it changed
  • Why it changed (change drivers)
  • Net impact over time
  • Historical, current, and future position counts
  • Distribution by key attributes (levels, locations, etc.)
  • Ensure all data outputs are traceable, auditable, and easy for non-technical stakeholders to understand
  • Partner with Finance and HR to validate logic, assumptions, and business rules


Required Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience in Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, or Analytics Engineering
  • Advanced SQL skills, including experience with:
  • Historical datasets
  • Data transformations
  • Effective dating and versioning
  • Strong experience designing relational data models
  • Experience building dashboards using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker
  • Ability to translate complex business processes into scalable data models and reporting solutions
  • Strong communication skills and experience working cross-functionally with technical and business teams


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with HR systems or workforce/position data
  • Exposure to finance or headcount planning use cases
  • Familiarity with slowly changing dimensions (SCDs), audit trails, or historical tracking
  • Experience in fast-changing organizational environments
