• Partner with SVP Data & Analytics to connect engineering delivery directly to pharma campaign ROI.
• Build out and mentor a high-performing engineering team as the company scales.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on with Snowflake (schemas, RBAC, tuning, optimisation).
• Strong Python/PySpark and SQL skills.
• Background in healthcare, pharma, or adtech data highly desirable.
• A player-coach mindset — able to set vision and build alongside your team.

Why Apply?

• Build and scale the data function inside a high-growth healthcare media company.
• Work directly with senior leadership, shaping how data drives client success.
• Clear progression to C-level leadership as the company grows.
• Salary $225k + bonus + equity
