Your Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the company’s analytics engineering architecture, ensuring scalable, maintainable and interoperable data models that support both business analytics and future AI initiatives across a federated data landscape.
• Drive the analytics engineering strategy and tooling roadmap, partnering closely with the Principal Data Engineer to establish standards, frameworks and best practices that make high- quality data modeling accessible and scalable for the wider data community.
• Lead the standardization and harmonization of business metrics, creating shared definitions and modeling conventions that improve consistency, trust and alignment across functions, domains and reporting use cases.
• Establish and continuously improve data governance and data quality practices, implementing monitoring frameworks, quality controls and accountability models that ensure reliable and trusted data across all domains.
• Coach, mentor and enable data practitioners across the organization, providing training, guidance and hands‑on support to data analysts and domain teams while fostering a strong data community and culture of collaboration.
• Deliver complex data modeling and engineering solutions hands‑on, developing and optimizing data pipelines, supporting teams that require additional expertise and ensuring efficient, scalable and high‑performing data transformations.
• Drive innovation through AI‑enabled analytics engineering, building and promoting AI‑native workflows, reusable frameworks, agentic AI capabilities and best practices that increase productivity, accelerate delivery and improve self‑service analytics adoption.
• Act as a trusted partner to business and technical stakeholders, translating business concepts into scalable data models, influencing decisions across teams and driving alignment through expertise, credibility and collaboration rather than formal authority.

Your Background

• 8+ years of experience in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, Business Intelligence or related data disciplines, including demonstrated technical leadership and the ability to operate at the intersection of data engineering and analytics.
• Deep expertise in modern analytics engineering practices, including enterprise data modeling, semantic layer design, metric frameworks and scalable data architecture principles.
• Extensive hands‑on experience with modern data transformation frameworks such as dbt, SQLMesh, Dataform or similar technologies, combined with strong expertise in designing and maintaining production‑grade data pipelines.
• Advanced SQL proficiency and strong Python skills, with the ability to build, optimize and troubleshoot complex transformations, models and analytics workflows.
• Strong expertise in Azure Databricks, including Unity Catalog, Lakeflow (Declarative Pipelines and Jobs), Databricks SQL and cloud‑based data platform architectures.
• Proven experience establishing data governance, data quality and monitoring frameworks, helping organizations improve trust, consistency and ownership of data assets.
• Strong communication, coaching and stakeholder‑management capabilities, with a demonstrated track record of mentoring analysts, facilitating alignment across multiple teams and translating business objectives into actionable data solutions.

Nice to Have

• Experience operating within a Data Mesh or federated data organization.
• Experience driving adoption of AI‑powered analytics and engineering workflows, including agentic AI frameworks, self‑service analytics solutions and platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, Databricks Genie or similar technologies.
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps, ADX, Grafana, Power BI, SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).
• Experience supporting high‑growth, transformation‑driven organizations where data models, processes and governance structures are evolving rapidly.
