ABOUT SQUARCLE / THE TEAM

Squarcle is a growing strategy, operations and digital consultancy dedicated to driving the performance of our clients. We are people orientated and pride ourselves on our people-first culture. Unlike many consultancies, Squarcle is as equally dedicated to delivery as it is to design.

The Technology and Digital department, led by the Head of Digital, is responsible for providing expert technology and digitisation strategy, operational optimisation and analysis advice to clients operating within a fast-moving global environment. The team comprises several subject matter experts who work to a manager to deliver the client and internal Squarcle mandate. Working together but often independently, each team member will be expected to work onsite and remotely with the client, on complex and exciting technology challenges.

Squarcle is committed to equality and diversity and our aim is to build a diverse, dedicated, and high-performing team of subject matter experts to help our clients achieve supply chain and operational excellence.

The Consultant Data Engineer reports to the Senior Consultant Technical Specialist Data Engineer, Technology and Digital department, and is responsible for the supporting of data engineering work, infrastructure and back-end development best practice, both on client projects and Squarcle’s proprietary platform development.

All our Technical team are expected to have input into our digital, product and technology strategy, owned by the Head of Digital, and be comfortable presenting technical content to non-technical colleagues and clients.

Squarcle consultants work across both project delivery, business and product development.

• Delivery: Squarcle Technology and Digital consultants work to supply solutions to the client’s changing business needs. The scope of engagements is highly variable and can include core strategy development, large-scale implementation, process optimisation, change management, data analysis, data modelling, solution development and innovative technology introduction.
• Business development: Squarcle places an emphasis on leading sector thinking in the development of the latest ideas. This can include producing white papers and internal research on relevant changes occurring in the sector and the impact on the general economy.
• Product Development: Squarcle is passionate about investing in and developing its own products. This can include conceptualising, designing, and creating cutting‑edge products that align with the business's strategic vision, meet customer needs, and drive sustainable growth in the market.
