• Professional certifications in data-related fields e.g., Databricks or similar are a plus.

TRANSVERSAL SKILLS

People are at the centre of who we are at Ekimetrics, so as well as excellent technical skills, it’s important that you also have the following:

• Excellent communication skills – especially translating complex technical findings into insights and stories for stakeholders (internal and external)
• A demonstrated ability to develop new and long-lasting client relationships at senior levels across multiple industries and sectors;
• An ability to work autonomously and be self-motivated;
• A team-oriented and collaborative working style, both with clients and within Ekimetrics;
• People management experience and demonstrated ability to develop younger talent and build a high performing team, (this doesn’t necessarily mean you have directly managed a team; this could relate to mentorship, project team management, etc.);
• Experience with project management and familiarity with Agile methodologies is preferred.
• A passion for joining a small team and a desire to help the business grow quickly.
