About The Position

Grow with us. Lead with us. At Pioneer, you’ll work directly with executive teams, solving complex problems and shaping strategies that reset what’s possible. Sometimes the work is headline-worthy. Sometimes it’s foundational. But every project earns trust – and earns us the right to take on more. You’ll get the kind of access, challenge, and growth found at big firms – while helping build a company that’s scaling fast and guided by what we value. If you’re looking for meaning, momentum, and a seat at the table, you’re in the right place. As a Senior Consultant on the Data & Analytics team, you will work directly in client environments delivering hands-on analytics work while helping drive projects forward. You will own workstreams end-to-end, coordinate across client stakeholders and Pioneer team members, and occasionally serve as the day-to-day project lead on smaller engagements. The expectation is simple: take a project, run with it, and deliver. You will regularly engage with client business users and technical teams to translate problems into data-driven solutions — sleeves rolled up from day one.
