Job description

As a Data Consultant, you’ll have the opportunity to transform how our clients access and process data, help to drive their data maturity, and enable their businesses to thrive with data-driven decision making.

We’re looking for a hands-on data practitioner who is proficient in working with Databricks. The right candidate will also be comfortable working with cloud technologies (Azure or AWS).

You will be comfortable defining and building cloud infrastructure, whilst also being able to discuss the finer details of data warehouses, lakes, lake houses, and mesh architectures with client stakeholders and internal teams. You will often be the key subject matter expert on proposals and bids.

Expect to work with clients offering a consultative approach to a number of complex issues, contributing to presales and curating accelerators. There will also be the opportunity to blog, speak at events, and reach the data community too.

• Industry-leading health and wellbeing plan - we partner with several wellbeing support functions to cater to each individual's needs, including 24/7 GP services, mental health support, and others
• Life Assurance (4 x annual salary)
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays

• An industry-leading referral scheme with unlimited referrals
• Flexible holiday buy/sell options
• Electric vehicle scheme
