• Contributing to the roadmap of a new data intelligence platform

Experience in ecommerce or consumer-facing products is useful but not essential.

• Have held a Lead role previously – leading a small team and technical leadership in DBT and Snowflake.
• Have strong DBT and Snowflake experience
• Enjoy owning models end-to-end and improving standards
• Are confident working directly with stakeholders to define business logic
• Have experience leading or mentoring engineering or analytics teams
• Are energised by high-growth, high-pace environments
• Want to work somewhere where performance genuinely accelerates your career
