Client Engagement Manager (Managing Consultant level)

At DataCatalyst, we enable enterprises to transcend data disorder and gain clarity—fostering smarter, faster decision-making. Our veteran team of data management, governance, and monetization specialists brings, on average, 15 years of experience to each engagement, and we're proud of our 100% project success rate.

We take a hands-on, pragmatic approach—eschewing large junior consultant rosters and sales layers in favor of lean, deeply skilled teams focused on generating real business value. Using our proprietary Accelerate methodology, we swiftly deploy high-quality data strategies, governance structures, and MDM implementations across industries like financial services, healthcare, manufacturing & distribution, retail, energy, and more.

We embrace a fully remote, low-travel model, enabling sustainable work-life balance across time zones without compromising client delivery. With a flat organizational structure, open collaboration, and software engineering-inspired rigor—particularly strong documentation and technical discipline—we cultivate an environment where each individual makes a direct and visible impact.
