- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly
- Experience mentoring or leading other engineers
What you’ll do
- Lead the design and delivery of curated, analytics-ready dimensional and semantic models
- Own KPI definitions, conformed dimensions and semantic consistency across domains
- Build and maintain complex SQL and PySpark transformation pipelines on Databricks
- Shape models that support reporting and analytics, including Power BI
- Partner closely with Data Analysts, Data Architects, Data Engineers and business stakeholders
- Lead modelling design reviews and contribute to architectural decisions
- Ensure data quality, testing, observability and performance across the curated layer
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to less experienced analysts and engineers
