A Consultant works with lots of different clients to solve specific problems that the client might have. Generally, they are highly specialised in a particular area and so can offer a level of expertise that might not be possible if the client was to do it themselves.

The role of a Data Analytics Consultant is incredibly varied: depending on the company they work for, they might be working on projects in completely different industries with completely different questions to answer, all in one day! It might involve talking to clients or internal colleagues to work out exactly the question that needs answering, carrying out analysis (using a variety of tools such as coding, Excel, or even Maths and Statistics in more complex cases), writing reports to explain what the data is saying, or presenting findings back to colleagues or clients.
