Analytics Translator & Enablement

Analytics translators help business users leverage data and analytics without deep technical skills, bridging the gap between data teams and business stakeholders.

You train business users on self-service analytics, translate business questions into data requirements, help users interpret analytics and insights, create analytics documentation and guidelines, and enable analytics adoption across organizations.

This role addresses the common problem where data teams build capabilities that business users struggle to leverage.

Services include analytics enablement programs ($15,000-$60,000), self-service analytics training, business user support and coaching, documentation and guide creation, and embedded analytics translator services ($3,000-$8,000 monthly).

Revenue reaches $120,000-$300,000 annually with 70-85% margins.

Target clients include companies with underutilized BI investments, organizations with gaps between data teams and business, businesses implementing self-service analytics, data teams overwhelmed with ad-hoc requests, and companies wanting to democratize data access.

Success requires understanding analytics tools and concepts without requiring deep technical skills, excellent teaching and communication abilities, patience and empathy with non-technical users, business acumen understanding stakeholder needs, and ability to translate between technical and business languages.

Leading analytics translators often come from business analysis backgrounds, develop training curricula and programs, work embedded with business teams, measure analytics adoption and usage, and potentially build analytics enablement practices.

The role has grown as self-service analytics creates needs for business-oriented support.
