Consultant, Data Strategy

About the Position

We are growing our data and technology strategy practice in the Nordics, and this role will be one of the early hires into the team. You will help clients set their data direction, modernise their platforms and turn plans into lasting change.

Responsibilities

• Lead data strategy and maturity assessments, covering the current state, target operating model, roadmap and investment case
• Shape platform modernisation programmes, from legacy migration and cloud platform design to data products, sourcing choices and vendor selection
• Design data governance and data quality frameworks - ownership, lineage, authoritative sources and SLAs
• Help clients make change happen through stakeholder alignment, clear roles and decision-making, practical adoption plans and straightforward programme communication
• Manage client projects and workstreams from start to finish, including scope, plan, team coordination, budget, risks, client communication and the quality of the final outcome
• Turn complex analysis into clear recommendations and present them confidently to senior client audiences
• Help grow the practice by developing reusable approaches, supporting business development and coaching junior colleagues

Requirements

• At least five years of experience in data-focused roles, including substantial work with enterprise data platforms or data transformation programmes, gained in consulting, in-house or both
• A strong track record in data strategy or platform modernisation within a large, complex organisation, with experience taking work through delivery rather than stopping at recommendations
• Enough technical fluency to work credibly with engineering teams, including familiarity with cloud data platforms, SQL, data modelling, ETL/ELT and integration patterns. You will not be expected to build pipelines, but you should be comfortable discussing the choices behind them
• Experience managing client projects or workstreams, including teams, plans, risks and senior stakeholder relationships
• A structured, practical approach to problem solving and confidence working with numbers in a quantitative, data-driven environment
• Fluency in English, written and spoken and the right to work in Sweden

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks or comparable cloud data platforms
• Exposure to governance and lineage tooling (Validio, Collibra, Alation or similar)
• Prior strategy or Big Four consulting experience
• Python, BI and AI/ML tooling

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a leading specialist management consultancy
• Be part of a team that helps clients make high stakes technology decisions with confidence
• Work with experts who have delivered work in more than 140 countries
