At Upper Echelon, we are proud to be New Zealand's go-to recruitment agency with consultants dedicated exclusively to Data and AI. With a focus on connecting exceptional Data and AI professionals with the organisations that need their expertise; whether in-house (end user) or consultancy environments.

We recruit across the full Data and AI ecosystem, including technical, analytical, and delivery roles, as well as associated technologies such as Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake. From Data Engineers, Analysts, and Scientists through to AI/ML Engineers, Data Architects, and Chief Data Officers, we have an excellent track record of providing good people for enterprise transformations and experienced contractors to deliver the solution you are looking for.

Upper Echelon's data and AI practice was born from our deep CRM and technology recruitment roots, and has grown alongside New Zealand's increasing appetite for senior, business-facing data professionals. We have partnered with several of New Zealand's leading consulting firms and medium to large enterprise organisations to place senior hires who lead and shape their data practices.

We cover both permanent and contract positions, helping clients build lasting data capability or access top talent for critical transformation projects.

If you are after that person or people that are at the intersection of business and technology you have come to the right place.
