You will utilise your technical expertise to create and execute solutions, as well as provide advisory services to our clients. As part of your responsibilities, you will collaborate closely with Data Services management and other key stakeholders in LCP's wider business. There will be opportunities to attend client meetings to help develop consulting skills, whether that be presenting results, providing project updates or advising on methodology.
