Data Engineering Lead - London (Hybrid or Office Based)
We are hiring for a fast growing, award winning UK consumer products brand in the health and wellness space, selling internationally across DTC and marketplace channels. Now maturing into a data empowered business.
This is the first dedicated data hire. Reporting has gone from fully manual to an early automated foundation, and you will own the next stage: a secure, centralised, self serve data platform. Hands on from day one, with the opportunity to build and lead a team.
What you will do
- Build and maintain pipelines from source systems (Shopify, Amazon, ad platforms, Northbeam, Klaviyo, ShipBob, Fulfil, Gorgias, Attio) into BigQuery and out to Power BI and Google Sheets
- Improve the unified data layer, judging when to refine architecture and when a tactical fix is right
- Manage the external analytics partner: set requirements, QA output, decide what is built in house
- Own monthly and quarterly reporting analytics so numbers are trusted and reconciled
- Define access models, shared definitions, governance and security from scratch
- Build data literacy through self serve dashboards, documentation and training
- Optimise conversion and behaviour tracking (GTM, GA4, Meta Pixel, Elevar, Northbeam APEX)
- Implement LLM driven analysis workflows on top of clean, structured data
What we are looking for
- 3 to 6 years in data engineering, analytics engineering or a data lead role, ideally in a scaling DTC or e commerce business
- Production pipelines (API integrations, ETL / ELT) into BigQuery, with strong SQL and Python
- dbt or similar transformation tooling, plus confident dashboard building
- Commercially minded, able to turn messy multi source data into numbers leadership trusts
- A self starter who wants to create rather than inherit
Nice to have: e commerce integrations, governance frameworks built from scratch, subscription and omnichannel data, LLM based analytics using MCP, vendor or small team management.
Package
- 70,000 to 85,000 GBP plus growth based bonus
- 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
- accelerated career path
- direct access to senior leadership
- weekly socials
- monthly fitness class passes
- Cycle to Work
