Cascade Data Labs is a boutique consulting agency with end-to-end experience helping Fortune 500 companies form and execute their analytics strategy and infrastructure. We believe strongly that the difference between analytics success and failure comes down to practitioner-level understanding of the “details” presented across a variety of disciplines; data collection, organization, and processing in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, analytical inference on multi-dimensional data sets, and the communication of findings to business stakeholders in visually compelling ways.

Ideal candidates will have strong quantitative backgrounds and analytical discipline. While they will have some demonstrated ability to write code, they will not have learned programming languages for the sake of building their resume, but rather as a means to express their intellectual curiosity and analytical voice.
