At EssenceMediacom, we want to eradicate inequity. We don\’t tolerate it, and when we see it, we act. We attract, support, and develop our talent without bias and strive to foster the empathy, creativity, and diversity of thought needed to drive meaningful change for our people, our clients, our industry, and our society.

Even if you don’t meet all the requirements, that’s okay, and we encourage you to apply anyway to find out more about whether this is the right match for you.

Did you know that marginalised groups including women, people of colour, and people with a disability are more likely to discount themselves for a role if they don\’t feel they meet every requirement? This is why we encourage connection and conversation to ensure that everyone has the opportunity and information needed to find the right role for them. If this role isn’t quite right, you may be the perfect fit for another – so go ahead, apply and find out!

Overview of Role

As a lead consultant within the Data & Technology team, you will lead in the development and automation of data solutions for clients. This is a hands-on role and you will be responsible for managing and delivering various client projects that aggregate data sources into a single view for both the client and EssenceMediacom.

Marketing industry data is often incomplete, inconsistent, and stored in silos with access primarily through APIs and FTPs. It is therefore our responsibility to help clients, both internal and external, who each have their own requirements for reporting. EssenceMediacom has invested in a technology stack based on GCP and PowerBI in order to adapt quickly to differing client requirements. We need a creative, experienced, and motivated individual to help lead cloud engineers and be the core escalation point on projects. You will also have a key role in implementing engineering solutions for our clients.
