POSITION SUMMARY, DUTIES AND QUALIFICATIONS
Position Summary
We are looking for an ambitious Manager – Business Intelligence & Data Analytics, ideally with business intelligence experience in either management consulting or the professional services industry, who above all wants to do high quality, impactful work they can take pride in.
Our guiding principle is We Live for A+. If you are someone who strives for excellence, not because you have to, but because you take pride in doing great work and enjoy seeing how far you can go, then Sapling might be exactly where you belong.
As a Manager, you will work at the intersection of business acumen and data analytics, and leading a team of talented professionals on projects that transform our clients’ data into actionable insights, driving business decisions and strategies. You will oversee the development and maintenance of BI tools, databases, and analytics platforms, building a strong framework for our clients to analyze trends and performance.
We are a boutique consultancy that differentiates itself from the big firms with best-in-class work and a strong functional expertise, and we have no interest in diluting our brand.
For this role, we are looking for someone with initiative, competitive drive, and an ability to stay focused on results despite changing conditions. This is a client facing role with a fast pacing, so the ability to learn very quickly and thoroughly under changing circumstances is very important. As a Manager, it will be important to drive the execution of a project in a timely manner and on budget. Coaching, training, and working through complex problem solving with the team is essential, and finding a balance between delegating tasks to the team, but also withholding the responsibility for follow-up, accountability, and achieving project delivery to clients while meeting high quality standards.
This is a pay-for-performance, pay-for-responsibility environment. High performers are given accelerated ownership, exposure, and compensation growth relative to more traditional consulting firms.
We’re looking above all for someone with a longer-term outlook who wants to join like-minded people in building a wildly successful company founded on that principle of creating high-impact value for clients. Ultimately, you will play a large role in a small but growing team with big ambitions for the future.
Our company is on a hybrid model, with the entire team in-office (Yonge/Sheppard) Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the balance of days at home. Our hybrid model is a reflection of the independence that our team is entrusted with in completing their work.
