Solution Lead- Big Data Analytics

Focus of the Function :

There are 4 areas that this role will focus on in order of importance :

Consultant - Providing thought leadership and best practices related Big Data to Organization's customers. Identify specific capability, practices, tools, and people that the organization would need to develop.

Solutioning - Conceptualize and develop relevant Big Data solutions for our Analytic Customers. Envisioning opportunistic areas with our clients by demonstrating relevant and credible Big Data solutions and paradigms. The role may entail carrying out high level assessment of customer big data readiness and creating the associated analytic benchmarking which may ultimately converge into a client specific Big data roadmap

Pre-Sales - Lead / Collaborate in response to applied Big Data based RFI/RFP

Operational Excellence - Ensure execution of critical Big data projects, including driving innovative implementation and insights derived from data

Why does this job exist :

Organization analytics has received multiple opportunities in the area of Big Data analytics and technology. The opportunities are strategic in nature in 2 ways :

- their potential of quickly converting to big deals.

- their fulfillment will firmly establish Organization's analytic footprint in the emerging space.

Fulfillment of such opportunities not only requires a dense understanding of the technology and data science underpinning Big Data applications, but also the ability to create and communicate solutions to internal and external customers in a lucid and effective manner. The Big Data Scientist role is our attempt to ramp-up and fill this need in the Organization organization.

How does the role add value :

- Big Data Science is now understood to be a key enabler for Analytics. Timely Investment in creating the right pool of resources in this area will allow Organization to monetize opportunities in this high growth area. Additionally, Big Data has natural adjacency to the BI and MDM practices and hence the investment will further facilitate creation of chunkier deals through stitching end-to-end solution packages.

How is this role unique from others :

- Role is on the intersection of solutions and pre-sales. We currently do not have a formal Big Data Scientist role within Organization Analytics neither do we have resident substitutable talent.

The role would be interacting extensively with 3 other roles within the organization

- Sales, Account management and Marketing teams - To commercialize products & solutions

- Solutioning teams & Practice leaders - To jointly create and develop products & solutions
