Customer Data Consultant

Modern and intelligent digital solutions rely on data and customer insights. We are looking for Customer Data Consultants, motivated by providing our clients with solutions that have a measurable business impact. You’ll get to work at the heart of digital sales, gathering, processing and activating data to resolve exciting business challenges hands-on.

Who we are

Columbia Road is the go-to consulting partner for businesses that want to sell better. Excelling in both commercial operations and scalable technology, we build seamless and effective customer journeys for measurable impact. In each of our projects, we focus on generating more revenue and more customers for our clients, working in cross-competence teams made up of the brightest minds in digital commerce.

Our tight-knit team consists of business consultants who understand software and of highly talented business-driven design and technology specialists.

As a community-led company, we believe in giving a lot of responsibility and freedom to our employees. Instead of line managers and red tape, we offer the tools and resources to all Roadies to make the best possible decisions for their own job and for our community. We offer you a diverse and inclusive workplace, and your fellow Roadies will ensure that you’ll feel comfortable from day one.

The job & what you’d be working on

As a Customer Data Consultant, you will be in a key role in transforming raw data in source platforms into actionable data-driven solutions that drive how companies utilise data to sell better in all customer channels.

You'll work closely with client stakeholders to understand their business challenges, assess their current data landscape, and recommend practical solutions in both technology and processes.

In this key role, you'll take a hands-on approach to operationalize customer data and ensure it delivers real business value. Your expertise will enable clients to unlock data's full potential, driving smarter decision-making and business growth.

Your client work could include e.g.:

• Designing and building automated data pipelines to ensure clean, reliable customer data flows between systems (e.g., from CRM, transactional databases, and web analytics tools) to enable actionable insights and personalized use cases

• Making data available for AI agents and other solutions. Creating, optimising and fine-tuning AI agents

• Transforming raw data for business use cases e.g. for marketing, sales or customer service.

• Designing data architectures between clients’ data sources and customer data platforms.

• Creating recommendations on how data can improve customer journeys, from targeting the right customer segments to creating personalized experiences across different channels.

You’ll be working as a team together with our technology and design consultants in the areas of business-driven AI solutions and digital channels (such as marketing automation, ecommerce and CRM). All of our consultants are working very hands-on. We are a flat organisation and we don’t have any managerial positions. Seniority means that the more experience you have the more you get to take responsibility for your projects, coach other Roadie consultants, and participate in our competency-specific task forces, account management, and framing our sales offering.
