• Advanced SQL and Python development skills.
• Strong expertise in data warehousing, dimensional modelling, semantic modelling and analytics engineering.
• Experience with Power BI or similar enterprise BI platforms.
• Proven experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and deployment practices.
• Strong understanding of data governance, privacy, lineage, metadata and enterprise security requirements.
• A track record of leading technical teams while remaining hands-on with solution delivery.
