Jobbeschreibung

Data Engineering Lead – GCP / BigQuery | London, hybrid | Up to £99,000 + 20% Bonus

A fast-growing, well-funded UK consumer group has grown through several acquisitions. It now runs a number of brands and businesses, each with its own systems and its own view of the customer. It’s bringing them together into one business, and data is at the centre of that.

They need a hands‑on Data Engineering Lead to build the foundation: one certified data mart across the group, giving every part of the business one customer, one history and one set of numbers.

What you’ll do

• Design and build a group-wide data mart on BigQuery from raw data, with a single customer identity across every brand and product, and one tested, version‑controlled definition per metric
• Lead the data side of a platform consolidation over the next 18–24 months, including moving an acquired business’s warehouse onto the group estate without breaking reporting
• Manage a team of three data engineers: set direction, review work and develop people
• Set engineering standards and enforce them through pull request reviews, automated tests and alerting
• Build a semantic layer so that BI tools and AI assistants give the business the same certified answer every time
• Work with senior stakeholders to turn business needs into engineering priorities

The split is roughly 40% building, 40% leading the team and 20% stakeholder work.

What they’re looking for

• Substantial hands‑on experience building and owning pipelines and warehouses on BigQuery or a similar cloud warehouse
• Experience managing data engineers, including setting standards and reviewing their work
• A key role in a data platform migration, or in integrating an acquired business’s data
• Experience re‑architecting or rebuilding a data warehouse, with strong SQL and data modelling
• Production experience with Dataform or dbt, including tests, documentation and CI/CD through Git
• Python or a similar language
• A collaborative leader: some of your team will know the systems better than you on day one, so you’ll need to earn trust as well as set direction
