Working directly with the CEO, the Head of Analysis is a senior, highly autonomous role at the heart of Wine Lister's consulting operation. You will own the full lifecycle of analytical projects - from scoping and methodology through to delivery and client presentation - across a portfolio of concurrent client engagements. This is a role for a self-starter who is equally comfortable building a complex quantitative pricing model and presenting its findings to a château owner, and who thrives under the pressure of managing multiple deadlines independently.
