• Work closely with BI, data architecture, and business teams to shape data structures and pipelines
• Support performance tuning, indexing, and optimisation across complex datasets

Must-have experience:

• Strong T-SQL development experience with SQL Server
• Background in the London Markets insurance sector (syndicates, brokers, carriers, or MGAs)
• Solid understanding of relational data modelling and data warehousing principles
• Experience working with business users, analysts, and other developers in a collaborative setup
