Who is Artefact?

Artefact is a next-generation strategy and data consulting firm. We sit at the intersection of top-tier strategy consulting and deep technical expertise. Our mission is to transform data into a competitive advantage for the world’s largest brands.

In our Romandie office, we don't just "process" data—we use it to solve high-stakes business puzzles. We are looking for a Senior Consultant who can bridge the gap between complex data ecosystems and executive-level decision-making.

The Mission statement: Translating Data into Strategy

As a Senior Analytics Consultant, you are the primary link between a major global client’s business goals and their technical infrastructure. This role isn't about building heavy infrastructure from scratch; it’s about Analytics Engineering—architecting the logic that turns raw information into business intelligence.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategic Stakeholder Management: Lead workshops with international business leads to define KPIs and translate vague business questions into precise technical requirements.

• Analytics Engineering (dbt & BigQuery): Design and maintain high-quality data models. You will own the "logic layer," ensuring that data is transformed, historized, and optimized for business use cases.

• Storytelling & Visualization: Architect the Looker (LookML) environment. You will ensure that dashboards aren't just "pretty," but are actionable tools that global markets rely on daily.

• Process Leadership: Act as the guardian of data quality. You will define documentation standards, conduct audits, and ensure the long-term scalability of the analytics solution.

• Proactive Advisory: As a Senior member, you are expected to challenge the status quo. You will identify opportunities where data can drive more value and propose roadmap enhancements to the client.

Candidate Profile: The "Consultant Mindset"

We are looking for a "Translator." You should be someone who enjoys the nuance of business operations just as much as a clean SQL query.

• The Mindset: You are a consultant first. You understand that tech is a means to an end. You are comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and can explain complex data flows in simple, commercial terms.

• Technical Proficiency: * Expert-level SQL and significant experience with dbt.

  • Hands-on experience with the Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery).

  • Professional mastery of Looker and LookML.

• Business Acumen: You have a solid grasp of how global corporations operate (supply chain, distribution, or commercial data). Experience with Anaplan logic is a major plus.

• Experience: 3+ years in data analytics, business intelligence, or consulting. You have a track record of owning projects from requirements gathering to final delivery.

• Languages: Fluency in English and French are mandatory.

Why Join Artefact Switzerland?

• Senior Impact: You will have high visibility within the firm and with the client. You aren't a cog in a machine; you are an architect of solutions.

• Modern Analytics Stack: We focus on the "best of breed" tools (GCP, dbt, Looker), allowing you to spend more time on insights and less time on technical "plumbing."

• Entrepreneurial Culture: We are a fast-growing team in Switzerland. You will help shape the culture and the way we deliver projects.

• Focus on Value: We prioritize tangible business impact over technical vanity projects.

This position is located in the Geneva area.
