You will play a pivotal role in leading the development of our cutting-edge data analytics platform, Microsoft Fabric. You will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive roadmap of projects that will enhance our data capabilities and drive informed decision-making across the council. Additionally, you will support and mentor key staff in data engineering skills, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

If you are a data enthusiast with a passion for making a difference, we would love to hear from you! Apply now to join the City Edinburgh Council and help us harness the power of data to drive positive change.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
