Principal Consultant Operational Analysis / Data Analysis

Are you a sharp analytical mind looking to bridge the gap between complex data and high-stakes real-world impact? At Sagentia Defence, we are seeking a Principal Consultant to join our growing Data & Analytics team, where you will tackle some of the most challenging problems in the government and regulated sectors. This is not just a desk job; it is a unique opportunity to lead innovation, shape the future of our operational analysis projects, and act as a trusted advisor on high-profile government programmes. If you are passionate about turning raw data into actionable insights that drive critical decisions, we want you to help us define the next generation of our consultancy practice.

In this role, you will find yourself at the intersection of technical excellence and strategic influence. We are looking for an ambitious professional who thrives on variety—one day you might be conducting deep-dive operational research, and the next you will be guiding clients through the complexities of government approvals. We prioritize a culture of curiosity and collaboration, offering you a platform to mentor emerging talent while refining your own expertise in a fast-paced, supportive environment. If you are ready to elevate your career and deliver tangible value within a company that values innovation above all else, join Sagentia and help us solve the challenges that matter most.
