We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.

As an Analytics Engineering Manager, you will ensure the consistent delivery of high‑quality, analytics‑ready data that underpins reporting, insights, and advanced analytics across the organisation. The role oversees the day‑to‑day coordination and quality assurance of analytics engineering, ensuring data pipelines, curated datasets, and analytical products are reliable, well‑governed, and delivered on time enabling trusted, scalable decision‑making across the business.

• Manage analytic engineering backlogs, work allocation and sprint activities to maintain efficient and predictable delivery.
• Ensure the development and maintenance of curated datasets, transformation pipelines, semantic models and reusable analytic components.
• Enforce engineering standards including code quality, version control, testing, optimisation, documentation and peer review processes.
• Support the refinement and implementation of engineering patterns, templates and reusable frameworks across analytics engineering teams.
• Provide hands‑on technical guidance when needed, helping engineers resolve complex modelling, performance or data quality issues.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, Data Engineering, Data Visualisation and Advanced Analytics teams to ensure analytics‑ready data meets downstream needs.
• Apply governance and compliance requirements to analytic workloads, including lineage, metadata capture, data quality checks and audit readiness.
• Monitor workload performance, costs and operational reliability, taking action to remediate issues and optimise efficiency.
• Support prototype development, controlled experiments and iterative refinement of analytical products.
• Coach and mentor analytic engineers, helping to develop capability, support career growth and ensure consistent delivery approaches.
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities such as tooling upgrades, automation, documentation improvements and process optimisation.
• Any other duties that reasonably fall within the role.
