Senior Analytics Consultant

The Role: Strategic Analytics Lead

Howden is looking for a versatile professional to sit at the intersection of data science and business consulting. In this position, you won't just be writing scripts; you'll be the architect of tools that help consultants and clients navigate the insurance landscape. You will take full ownership of the product lifecycle—from triaging user needs and managing the development backlog in Azure DevOps to ensuring rigorous governance and documentation standards are met.

High-Leverage Technology

The role offers a rare chance to work across a complete, modern stack without being pigeonholed into a single layer of the infrastructure. Key tools include:

• Interactive Data Apps: Building robust UIs using Python and the Shiny framework.
• Automated Reporting: Utilizing Quarto and Git for seamless documentation and version control.
• Cloud Deployment: Managing releases and containerized environments within an Azure DevOps ecosystem.

Growth and Vibe Potential

This is an entrepreneurial environment designed for those who want to build things quickly and correctly. The team’s mantra—to build once and use many times—perfectly aligns with the efficiency-first mindset of vibe coding. Although they currently prioritize a deep manual understanding of code, the fast-paced, distributed nature of the work rewards the kind of architectural thinking and rapid iteration that modern AI tools enable. It’s a place where your value is measured by the outcomes you deliver to the business, not just the hours spent typing at a desk.
