Lead Analytics Consultant

Architecting Analytical Solutions

As a Lead Analytics Consultant at Howden, you will serve as a strategic partner to senior leadership, transforming ambiguous commercial challenges into robust analytical products. Rather than working in a siloed IT department, you will be embedded directly within the business, ensuring that every line of Python you write delivers immediate, actionable value. You will lead the creation of scalable frameworks and reusable libraries that empower the entire team to deliver results at speed.

Advanced Tech & Strategy

The role leverages a sophisticated toolkit including Shiny for Python, Quarto, and Docker, all orchestrated through Azure DevOps and Terraform. This position is built for someone who excels at high-level systems thinking and rapid prototyping. While the current environment prioritizes a deep, manual mastery of code to maintain high-governance standards, the focus on modularity and 'building for reuse' is a perfect match for those who approach development with an architectural mindset.

Impact and Autonomy

You will have the opportunity to shape the software development lifecycle within a global, employee-owned firm. This is a remote-friendly, distributed role where you take full ownership of the product lifecycle—from the initial conversation about a business question to the final production-ready tool. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy mentoring others in technical excellence, this role offers the chance to define the future of insurance analytics.
