You will also be involved in data projects aimed at expanding the depth of information available to our users, using methods which may include: spreadsheet manipulation, prompt engineering for large language models, and basic coding. Please note that this role is largely focused on data quality and sourcing; this is not a data engineering role requiring or involving significant coding experience.
