The Select Group is seeking a Senior Analytics Lead to support a large telecom client in a highly analytical, hands-on role. This position is focused on deep data investigation and problem solving, working directly with leadership to answer complex operational questions related to network reliability and performance.
 
The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in ad-hoc analytical environments, can quickly identify symptoms in large datasets, and work backward to determine the underlying drivers.
