We bring together expertise across planning, design, engineering, education and encouragement programs, and community engagement to help communities thrive. Our work is grounded in the belief that how places are designed and experienced has a profound impact on equity, health, and opportunity—and that people should always be at the heart of those decisions.
Founded in 1996, Alta was at the forefront of the active transportation movement and has spent nearly 30 years partnering with communities to imagine a more connected, resilient, and inclusive future.

In this role, you will serve as a technical expert and project leader for Alta’s Civic Analytics work across disciplines, project types, and regions. You will:
- Manage tasks. Oversee advanced technical tasks from start to finish, including providing scope guidance, tracking staff progress, and reviewing work products. You will also work with planners, engineers, and program specialists to develop analytics scopes, schedules, and budgets that deliver.
- Lead technical work. Develop methods in R, Python, and GIS and design analysis solutions that range from evaluating the accessibility benefits of a trail to building predictive models of demand for new mobility services or active transportation.

Work on active transportation plans, complete streets, safety action plans and Vision Zero, new mobility planning (including curbside management and mobility hubs), Transportation Demand Management, and economic benefit studies, always keeping a community-focused perspective.
- Support proposals and scope work. Lead development of analytical scope language and coordinate Civic Analytics contributions to proposals, using standard scope language where possible and completing or delegating pre-analysis as needed.
- Develop new tools and methods. Advocate for advanced technologies where they fit, build tools that help staff deliver better work, and make sure new approaches are integrated into scoping, implementation, and training at Alta.
- Mentor and review. Advise junior staff on good analysis practices, review their notebooks and scripts, lead trainings, organize team effort, and, as needed, supervise staff.

Analytics Manager Jobs in Atlanta: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a analytics manager job in Atlanta?
Focus your search on Atlanta's three densest hiring corridors: Midtown's tech and media companies, Buckhead's financial services firms, and the Central Perimeter cluster of Fortune 500 corporate headquarters. Candidates with experience in retail analytics, supply chain data, or healthcare analytics stand out locally. Building relationships through Atlanta's active data and analytics meetup community also gives you a practical edge over remote applicants.
Which companies hire analytics managers in Atlanta?
Atlanta analytics manager roles are posted by The Home Depot, Google, and The Coca-Cola Company and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Atlanta's market is particularly strong in large corporate headquarters and regional operations centers, where analytics teams tend to be sizable and post roles consistently throughout the year.

Yes, analytics manager roles are well-suited to remote and hybrid arrangements given their desk-based, data-driven nature. About 75% of analytics manager openings tied to Atlanta are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in the field. Strategy, reporting, and modeling work tends to be most remote-friendly, while roles requiring cross-functional stakeholder presence in Atlanta offices lean hybrid.
How can I get a analytics manager job in Atlanta with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Atlanta is moving up from a data analyst or business intelligence analyst role, which Atlanta's large retail, logistics, and financial services employers hire at scale. Companies like major grocery chains, airlines with Atlanta hubs, and regional banks regularly promote analysts into manager tracks. Earning a certification in a major BI platform alongside demonstrated project leadership closes the gap faster than additional education alone.
