This role offers a great opportunity for an Analytics Engineer to join a fast-scaling digital business undergoing a complete rebuild of its analytics infrastructure. You'll play a key role in reshaping how data is modeled, accessed, and used across teams - all with a focus on clarity, consistency, and self-serve analytics. The environment values autonomy, quality, and user-first thinking, with the freedom to shape best practices from the ground up.

THE COMPANY
This is a high-growth consumer business committed to data-informed decision-making across marketing, operations, product, finance, and customer success. They're currently rebuilding their analytics platform with modern, scalable tools and need a strong contractor to accelerate this transition. Working in a fast-paced, collaborative, and remote-first environment, you'll make a lasting impact on how data empowers the organisation.

THE ROLE
You'll join the data team to lead the design and delivery of a new semantic layer in Looker. You'll work with stakeholders across departments to translate business needs into performant, trusted data models using LookML and dbt. You'll also play a critical role in shaping the self-serve analytics experience and ensuring the platform is intuitive, documented, and cost-efficient.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Rebuilding LookML models to reflect real-world business processes and logic.

  • Designing and implementing dbt models that power clean, consistent metrics.

  • Collaborating with business teams to understand reporting needs and deliver intuitive analytics experiences.

  • Creating clear documentation for dashboards, metrics, and models.

  • Ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency across Looker and BigQuery.

  • Supporting a stakeholder-first approach to data usability and access.

KEY SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

  • Advanced experience with Looker and LookML, including semantic layer modeling and dashboard design.

  • Proficiency in SQL and dbt, with a strong understanding of data modeling best practices.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex needs into elegant data solutions.

  • Focus on usability, documentation, and data clarity.

  • Comfortable working independently in a dynamic, fast-changing environment.

DESIRABLE SKILLS

  • Experience rebuilding or refactoring a Looker instance from scratch.

  • Familiarity with BigQuery performance tuning and cost optimization.

  • Experience scaling analytics across a cross-functional organisation
