What you will be doing

What You'll Be Doing

As a Junior Data Consultant, you'll sit at the intersection of business strategy and data — helping clients make smarter decisions, faster. You'll work directly with clients to understand their challenges, dig into their data, uncover insights that change how they operate, and communicate those findings in ways that drive action.

This is not a back-office analytics role. You'll be client-facing, intellectually challenged, and given real responsibility from day one. Our best junior consultants don't stay junior for long.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Collecting, cleaning, and organizing data from diverse sources — databases, spreadsheets, APIs, and web-based tools
• Preparing and structuring data for analysis, including quality checks, error correction, and formatting for statistical software
• Analyzing data using tools such as Excel, SQL, Python, or R to surface trends, patterns, and actionable insights
• Translating complex data findings into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Partnering with clients to deeply understand their business objectives and co-developing data-driven strategies to meet them
• Staying sharp: actively investing in your own professional development as the data and AI landscape evolves rapidly

What we are looking for

We want builders, thinkers, and fast learners — people who are energized by ambiguity, motivated by impact, and who can hold their own in a room with a senior client. You're the kind of person who asks "why?" before jumping to "how," and you never stop at "good enough."

As part of a growing Regional team, you'll play a meaningful role in shaping our presence here. That means we need someone who's intellectually curious, independently driven, genuinely collaborative, and hungry to grow.

• • An undergraduate degree with strong academic performance
  • 1–2 years of full-time experience in consulting, data/analytics, marketing, finance, or tech
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills — you can represent Artefact confidently in front of clients
  • Proven ability to collaborate across diverse, multicultural teams; strong intercultural communication skills are essential
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
  • A genuine passion for data, digital, and the broader tech economy
  • A natural desire to teach and develop others; you lift the people around you
  • Exposure to strategy consulting and/or digital marketing is a strong asset, but not a dealbreaker

Why Join Artefact?

We're not just a workplace — we're a community of people who believe that data, applied well, can change how businesses operate and how the world works. We move fast, we challenge each other, and we celebrate people who make things happen.

Our values aren't decorations on a wall — they're how we actually work:

• There is always a way — We're builders and problem-solvers. An idea only counts if it gets executed.
• Client trust is won in the field — We show up, sleeves rolled up, working side by side with our clients.
• If it's not used, it's useless — We build for adoption and impact, not for slide decks.
• If it's not shared, we're not done — Knowledge shared compounds. We invest in each other's growth.
• We learn every day — In a field that moves this fast, standing still means falling behind. We embrace the challenge.
