Senior Analyst, Data Automation

Horizon 5 LLC • , CT

6d • $100,000 - $125,000

About The Position

Horizon Five is a practitioner-led consulting firm helping organizations improve performance through data, analytics, automation, AI, business process redesign, and practical transformation. We are not traditional consultants. Our team brings hands-on operating experience and partners with clients to solve real problems, strengthen controls, improve workflows, and build sustainable capability.

Horizon Five is seeking a hands-on Senior Analyst with strong technical depth in data, analytics, automation, and delivery execution. This role is ideal for someone who can work directly on client projects, build and improve automation workflows, coordinate day-to-day delivery from offshore developer resources, and help ensure technical work is accurate, tested, documented, and client-ready.

This is not a strategy-only role. The right candidate will be close to the work, comfortable building in tools like Alteryx and Power BI, and able to translate client and manager direction into clear technical tasks. This person will support managers and directors on client engagements while growing into a broader delivery leadership role over time.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in data analytics, automation, business intelligence, analytics engineering, technical consulting, or related delivery work.
• Strong hands-on proficiency with Alteryx and Power BI.
• Experience building or supporting data workflows, dashboards, reporting processes, automation logic, data preparation, or analytics solutions.
• Ability to manage technical tasks across multiple resources, including offshore developers or distributed delivery teams.
• Strong attention to detail, testing discipline, documentation habits, and ability to identify quality issues before they reach the client.
• Comfort working in a consulting or client-service environment where priorities can shift and ambiguity needs to be turned into executable next steps.
• Ability to communicate clearly with managers, technical resources, and client stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• SQL, Excel and Power Query, Python, Tableau, or similar tools are a plus.
• Finance, FP&A, accounting, SOX, reporting, or operational process experience is helpful, but technical depth and delivery execution are the priority.
• Big Four, consulting, digital transformation, analytics, automation, or shared services delivery experience is a plus.
• Senior analyst who is technically strong and ready to take on more delivery ownership.
• Strong Alteryx and Power BI user who enjoys building workflows, solving data problems, and improving how work gets done.
• Comfortable coordinating offshore developer work while remaining hands-on enough to review, troubleshoot, and improve the output.
• Practical problem solver who can move quickly, ask good questions, document decisions, and create structure without a large team around them.
• Low ego, high ownership, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-moving consulting environment.
• Interested in growing into a manager-level role over time by building delivery leadership, client-facing skills, and offshore team management capability.

Responsibilities

• Build, enhance, and support data automation workflows, reporting outputs, dashboards, and analytics solutions for client engagements.
• Use tools such as Alteryx, Power BI, SQL, Excel and Power Query, and other automation or analytics platforms to improve client processes and reporting.
• Translate client requirements, process needs, and manager direction into clear technical workplans, user stories, offshore developer tasks, and acceptance criteria.
• Manage day-to-day execution from offshore development resources, including assigning work, reviewing outputs, clarifying requirements, and ensuring delivery quality.
• Stay close enough to client engagements to understand context, dependencies, priorities, and business impact rather than managing offshore delivery blindly.
• Apply strong UAT discipline, quality checks, documentation standards, and review processes before work is shared with clients.
• Support managers and directors in running client workstreams, tracking status, managing open items, and escalating risks or blockers.
• Participate in client working sessions when needed to gather requirements, explain work products, review outputs, and confirm next steps.
• Document workflows, technical logic, assumptions, data inputs, outputs, testing steps, and handoff materials.
• Help improve Horizon Five internal delivery playbooks, reusable automation assets, offshore coordination model, and quality control standards.

Benefits

• This is an opportunity to join a growing practitioner-led firm where technical execution matters. You will help clients improve reporting, automate manual work, strengthen workflows, and turn data into practical business value, while helping Horizon Five scale its delivery model through stronger offshore coordination, better quality control
