What You’ll Be Doing

• Data Delivery: You'll be responsible for delivery of complex data solutions including the ingest of data from a wide variety of data sources into our analytics platforms (typically cloud-based but some work on our on-premise data analytics platforms), transformation and cleansing of data and modelling of data into our enterprise data warehouse for consumption by both technical users and non-technical business users via centrally developed reporting and visualisation or self-service platforms.
• Data Culture: You'll drive a data-first culture both within the data team and across the business by supporting continual learning and development within your team and data enablement activity across the wider business. You'll demonstrate a passion for data and encourage a similar passion within your team. As part of a data-first culture you may also be involved in supporting production data assets (not on a first-line basis).
