• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with teams across Product, Marketing, and Analytics to prioritise and deliver on key data initiatives.

• BI & Data Accessibility: Drive the adoption and governance of ThoughtSpot (and other BI tools), ensuring users can confidently self-serve data.

• Data Governance: Own systems for monitoring, testing, and validation to maintain trust in the data and catch issues early.

• Cloud Infrastructure: Leverage AWS services (S3, Glue, Lambda, etc.) and Python scripting to orchestrate and automate data workflows.

• Innovation & Improvement: Continually explore and implement tools and processes that improve scalability, developer productivity, and data usability.

What You Bring

• Relevant Experience: 4+ years in analytics or data engineering, ideally with exposure to e-commerce or digital product environments.

• Technical Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with Snowflake and dbt. Strong SQL skills and experience optimising complex transformations.

• Programming Proficiency: Comfortable with Python for automation, integration, and data orchestration.

• Cloud Savvy: Solid understanding of modern cloud data infrastructure, especially within AWS.

• Team Leadership: Experience mentoring and managing engineers in a fast-paced environment.

• Communication Skills: Able to clearly communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• BI Familiarity: Comfortable working with tools like ThoughtSpot, Looker, or Tableau and supporting a self-service analytics culture.

• Process Orientation: You value strong documentation, scalable solutions, and consistent engineering standards.

What We Offer

• A fully remote position within the UK with flexible hours

• The opportunity to lead and shape the data function of a growing, data-driven company

• A salary of £80,000-£90,000 depending on experience
