I'm working with a long-established global business operating across payments, secure technology, digital identity and manufacturing.

They're investing heavily in technology, data and analytics, and are looking for an Analytics Engineer to help build the data foundations behind better product and business decisions.

• Defining KPIs and product metrics
• Creating dashboards and self-service analytics
• Product usage, customer behavior, funnels and retention
• Experimentation and A/B testing
• Forecasting and deeper analytical work
• Improving data quality and reporting processes

The role is less about simply producing reports and more about helping teams understand what the data is telling them and what they should do next.

The Right Person

Ideally, you'll have:

• 3+ years in Analytics Engineering, Product Analytics or Data Analytics
• Strong SQL
• Experience with tools such as dbt / SQLMesh
• Experience with Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks or similar
• BI experience with Tableau, Looker, Mode, Hex or similar
• Working knowledge of Python or R
• Experience working with Product and business teams
• Confidence turning vague business questions into clear analysis
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain data to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with product metrics, customer behavior, funnels, cohorts or retention

Experience in SaaS, fintech, payments, ecommerce or enterprise software would be a plus.
