WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for an Analytic Solutions Manager who shares our passion for data, analysis, learning, and continuous improvement. The role of Analytic Solutions is to lead and guide our collective efforts to meet the needs of our clients. We take business problems – from simple to complex – and frame them within the context of analytic solutions. Then we collaborate with our team of analysts and our clients to build the plans and oversee the work, from start to finish, in an effort to solve those problems. This requires juggling multiple projects at once while managing scope and budgets throughout the process. Our goal as a team is to balance delivery excellence with client delight.

Like all team members, this person must be incredibly curious, empathetic, sincere, hardworking, and a problem-solver. Drumline requires a healthy balance between thinking and doing, being detail-oriented and thinking outside-the-box. Our clients’ needs are constantly evolving, and our charter is to help them move forward. This role is the common thread between clients and internal teams, and keeps all aspects of our work moving forward.

• Identify when we need to pivot our work based on client needs and align the team on a new strategy, when necessary

• Actively listen and help the client evaluate tradeoffs between decisions they need to make
