• Proficiency in SQL and data preparation tools (Python or similar).
• Expertise in visualisation platforms such as Tableau or Looker Studio.
• Ability to integrate and structure data from multiple sources (e.g., Salesforce, finance, CRM).
• Skilled in translating business needs into technical solutions and clear, visual insights.
• Experience working with stakeholders across product, engineering, and business teams.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex data for non-technical audiences.
• Track record of driving adoption of data tools and embedding analytics into business processes.
• Agile, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to prioritise and manage multiple workstreams.
• Leadership experience, including line management and mentoring of data professionals.
