• Introduce automated testing, monitoring, documentation and data-quality controls across the analytical product lifecycle.
• Improve how analytical assets are developed and deployed through version control, CI/CD, orchestration and repeatable engineering practices.
• Contribute to cloud migration and platform modernisation, helping move existing analytical processes towards scalable and maintainable solutions.
• Build automation and AI-assisted capabilities that improve analytical productivity while meeting Risk governance and control expectations.
• Partner with risk specialists to turn portfolio questions and regulatory requirements into robust technical solutions and decision-ready insights.
• Provide technical leadership, coach colleagues and help grow analytics engineering capability across the team.

Success in this role will include delivering reliable data products, reducing manual and duplicated analytical processes, and establishing reusable engineering approaches that can support multiple risk use cases.

We're interested in hearing from people who:

• Brings strong data or analytics engineering experience and enjoy solving complex problems in an environment where reliability, governance and business context matter.
• You'll be comfortable remaining close to the technology while influencing stakeholders and guiding others.
• Advanced SQL skills and strong practical Python capability.
• Experience designing and delivering production-quality data pipelines, transformation workflows or analytical data products.
• Strong knowledge of analytical data modelling, automated testing, monitoring and data-quality controls.
• Experience with dbt or a comparable transformation framework.
• Experience using cloud-based data platforms, version control, CI/CD and workflow orchestration to build scalable and maintainable solutions.
• Ability to translate business, risk and regulatory requirements into effective data engineering solutions and clear, actionable insights.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, stakeholder engagement and coaching capability.
• A relevant qualification in data science, computer science, engineering, mathematics, statistics or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience. Experience in credit risk, banking, financial services or another regulated environment would be highly regarded.
• Experience in using dashboarding tools along with exposure to AI-assisted tooling, development or machine-learning workflows would be valuable.
