You are confident working with SQL, dimensional modelling, metadata, lineage and data governance principles. You can translate business requirements into clear technical designs and communicate complex concepts in a way that is accessible to non‑technical colleagues. Experience with Power BI, data migration projects and modern ELT tools (such as DBT) is highly desirable. Above all, you bring clarity, collaboration, a structured approach and a strong sense of ownership over data quality and architecture. What you'll get in return This is an opportunity to make a visible, lasting impact in an organisation with a clear mission and strong values. You will play a key role in shaping the data architecture that the organisation will rely on for years to come, influencing how we model, integrate and govern information across systems and teams. You will join a supportive, forward‑thinking environment where learning, improvement and innovation are encouraged. You will have the chance to work across both modern cloud technologies and established BI platforms, contributing to a balanced and pragmatic data transformation.
