Advancement Prospects

Some companies have distinct advancement tiers in which a qualified analyst is promoted from analyst I, to analyst II, to analyst III, and so on before becoming eligible for other positions. A highly experienced analyst with strong managerial skills can be promoted to the position of director of data analytics. At some employers, the next advancement step is to chief medical data officer, who oversees the data analytics/management functions of their entire organization. Others choose to receive additional training to become data architects, data engineers, and data scientists. There are also opportunities as data analytics/science teachers at colleges and universities. Analysts with an entrepreneurial mindset can become consultants.
