  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders—translating complex technical concepts into business value.

  • Architect and oversee delivery of scalable data solutions including data lakes, warehouses, lakehouses, and real-time analytics pipelines.

  • Bring expertise in tools like Snowflake, Databricks, Azure Synapse, Power BI, and other modern data stack components.

  • Recruit, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of data engineers, analysts, and consultants.

  • Support sales efforts by shaping solution approaches, responding to RFI and RFPs, estimating project scope and staffing, and delivering compelling client presentations.

  • Collaborate closely with other Eigen X practice leads (CRM, PPM) to offer integrated, cross-domain solutions.

  • Stay current on trends and best practices in data engineering, data governance, cloud platforms, and AI/ML enablement.

Required:

  • 12+ years of experience in data analytics, including 5+ years in a leadership or consulting role.

  • Experience overseeing and delivering end-to-end data solutions on at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP).

  • Hands-on experience with data integration tools, SQL, Python, visualization platforms (Power BI/Tableau), and modern data architectures.

  • Proven ability to lead client-facing engagements and build long-term relationships.

  • Strong communication skills with an ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

  • Must be based in the DMV area and able to work on-site in the McLean, VA office and at client locations as needed.

Preferred:

  • Experience in a professional services or consulting firm.

  • Familiarity with DataOps, CI/CD for data pipelines, and data governance frameworks.
