This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning the full data lifecycle, from source system ingestion through to trusted, report-ready datasets that drive business decision-making.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of the organisation’s data function, establishing standards, improving governance and helping the business unlock greater value from its data.

Manage deployments across environments and support CI/CD and DataOps practices
