• Create reusable data assets and documentation to support self-serve analytics via Power BI

• Work with analysts and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions

• Maintain clean, version-controlled codebases and contribute to documentation and data governance

• Support best practices in analytics engineering and provide guidance to junior team members

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years' experience in analytics engineering or closely related roles

• Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, and dbt (or similar transformation tools)

• Hands-on experience with Azure Databricks, ADF, and cloud-based data platforms

• Solid understanding of dimensional modelling, lakehouse/warehouse design, and scalable architecture

• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD, and modern software engineering workflows

• Confident using Power BI or similar BI tools to support self-service analytics

• Strong communication skills, able to work with both technical and non-technical teams

• Comfortable in fast-moving, agile environments

The Setup

• Contract: 6 months initially (large book of work, extension likely)

• Location: Central London (3 days/week in office)

• Rate: £500/day (Outside IR35)
