Data and AI Modeller / Analytics Engineer

Job Summary

This is a rare opportunity to join a newly created global role within a growing central data and analytics team. The Data and AI Modeller / Analytics Engineer leads the design and build of governed, reusable global data models — translating enterprise data into business-ready dimensions, facts, and metrics for consistent reporting, self-service analytics, and AI/ML readiness.

The postholder acts as the bridge between the data team, IT, and business leaders: defining requirements, shaping data products, modelling business logic, and enabling performant, well-documented data delivery at global scale. This is a hands-on technical role working in Microsoft Azure Fabric across gold layer models, semantic models, and AI-ready consumption — ensuring business users and AI tools consume trusted definitions and governed metrics, not raw or uncontrolled data.

Key Accountabilities

  • Design global semantic data models in Azure aligned to agreed business definitions, KPIs, and reporting requirements, working with executives, business domains, and senior IT leaders.
  • Build governed gold layer models, semantic models, and certified data products — including dimensional models, canonical models, business-ready views, and reusable semantic structures across enterprise domains.
  • Translate business rules, reporting logic, and KPI definitions into trusted, reusable governed metric logic; develop and maintain calculation logic to ensure consistency across dashboards, reports, and AI-enabled tools.
  • Design models that support dashboards, self-service analytics, and AI natural language querying; document metric definitions, calculation rules, assumptions, exclusions, filters, and caveats for safe consumption by users and AI tools.
  • Own version control, testing, documentation, and governance of metric definitions and semantic models; identify and replace duplicate, conflicting, or ungoverned metrics with controlled enterprise definitions.
  • Collaborate with data engineers and architects on upstream transformations, data quality, traceability, lineage, and master data management; partner with governance, architecture, system owners, and cyber to align models to metadata, ownership, and certification requirements.
  • Support migration and rationalisation of existing Power BI datasets, measures, reports, and legacy reporting logic.
  • Optimise Azure semantic models for performance, quality, and scalability; deliver modelling for AI/ML use cases and advise data scientists on engineering and modelling needs.
  • Validate AI-generated analytical outputs against correct metric logic, filters, definitions, and the approved semantic layer; ensure AI tools consume only approved, access-controlled definitions and certified models.
  • Skills and Competencies

  • Deep expertise in semantic Azure data modelling including physical, logical, and dimensional approaches within enterprise architecture.
  • Advanced SQL, DAX, star schema design, ETL, analytics engineering, and Microsoft Fabric consumption patterns; experience with performance and cost optimisation.
  • Strong understanding of KPI governance, metric definition, business rules, and calculation logic across multiple products and source systems.
  • Extensive skills in data quality, traceability, and observability integrated into modelling workflows.
  • Understanding of AI answer risks including inconsistent metrics, missing context, wrong filters, hallucinated definitions, and unsupported conclusions; working knowledge of AI/ML and automation as applied to data modelling and analytics.
  • Effective communicator with strong influencing and stakeholder engagement skills; able to articulate complex modelling concepts to executive and non-technical audiences and work independently as the global modelling lead.
  • Qualifications and Experience

    Essential

  • Bachelor’s degree in data analytics, data science, or a related discipline.
  • Significant experience in analytics engineering and semantic modelling with evidenced, quantifiable outcomes — including executive-adopted, future-proof models with high maintenance success rates and measurable efficiency savings.
  • Proven delivery of reusable semantic layers that reduced duplicated logic and enabled self-service reporting across multiple systems and global domains.
  • Experience with global data standardisation frameworks for harmonising definitions, taxonomies, and formats across regions.
  • Experience in AI/ML enablement and integration with data and analytics platforms.
  • Strong executive stakeholder engagement skills alongside technical breadth in data modelling and analytics engineering.
  • Experience with AI-enabled analytics, natural language querying and governed data consumption.
  • Relevant certifications in data modelling, analytics engineering, Microsoft, Power BI, SQL, Fabric and AI analytics.
