• Ensure alignment of low-level designs with application architecture, high-level designs, and AA Standards, Frameworks, and Policies.
• Analyse data sets to identify modelling logic and key attributes required for low-level design, and create and maintain appropriate documentation.
• Develop and update Physical Data Models (PDMS) and participate in design reviews.
• Lead handover sessions to developers and testers, and estimate effort required for low-level design documentation.
• Provide technical and business knowledge support to Business Analysts, and engage with the full end-to-end data development process within an Agile scrum framework.

What do I need?

• Experienced with data warehouse and business intelligence, including delivering low-level ETL design and physical data models.
• Proficient in Data Warehousing Design Methodologies (e.g., Kimball dimensional models) and Data Modelling tools (e.g., ER Studio).
• Strong Data Analysis skills and hands-on experience with SQL/Python for data interrogation.
• Working knowledge of Cloud-based data and analytics solutions (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Informatica, PowerBI) and ETL/ELT technology (e.g., Informatica DEI).
• Proven ability to understand business processes, facilitate meetings with senior stakeholders, and translate business requirements into technical designs.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to work independently under pressure and collaboratively within a cross-functional delivery team.
