  • Establish effective data governance using Unity Catalog, including data quality and access controls.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD processes to support reliable, repeatable deployments.
  • Work hands on with Databricks, focusing on architecture, optimisation and BI engineering rather than cloud infrastructure.
  • Act as a trusted partner to the business, translating requirements into scalable data solutions.
  • Take ownership of problems end to end, bringing ideas and challenging assumptions where needed.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience as a BI Data Architect or BI Engineer in modern analytics environments.
  • Proven capability in dimensional modelling and designing semantic layers for BI tools.
  • Hands on experience with Databricks and lakehouse style architectures.

  • Experience implementing or working with dbt in a production environment.
  • Confidence setting up CI/CD for analytics engineering workflows.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work autonomously and learn quickly.

What They Offer

  • An 8 month fixed term contract with flexibility around working location.
  • The opportunity to shape a BI platform and leave a lasting architectural impact.
  • A collaborative environment that values initiative, curiosity and clear communication.
  • Exposure to a broad range of stakeholders and business critical use cases.
