An established consumer business with a strong online presence is hiring a Lead Analytics Engineer to shape how data is modelled, governed and consumed across the wider business. Real ownership, real technical leadership, and a modern stack to build on.

The role:

  • You'd sit within the Analytics Engineering team, working closely with the Analytics Engineering Manager but operating with a lot of autonomy.
  • The role is domain led, meaning you'd take ownership across areas like customer, commercial and operations, shaping the definition and delivery of analytics engineering solutions end to end.
  • Not a line management role, but a genuine technical leadership one.
  • You'd set the bar for modelling, testing, documentation and governance, mentor the wider team, and be the person other engineers look to on the harder architectural calls.

Tech stack:

  • Snowflake
  • dbt
  • SQL
  • Python
  • Fivetran
  • Dagster
  • DataDog
  • Tableau
  • AWS (SageMaker, EC2, Lambda, Glue, S3)
  • Terraform
  • API Gateway
  • GitHub
  • Jira
  • Confluence

What we're looking for:

  • Advanced SQL, genuinely at the top end for complex modelling and performance work
  • Deep hands on dbt experience, extensive scalable model design
  • Strong Snowflake experience including performance and cost optimisation at scale
  • Proven experience shaping analytics engineering at a business domain level
  • Python for automation and processing
  • Confident with stakeholder management across product, marketing, finance and data science
  • Comfortable operating independently and making calls in ambiguous environments
  • A mentor who takes real pride in raising the bar around them

What's on offer:

  • Up to £85,000 base
  • Up to 30% bonus
  • 1 day a week in the London office
  • Modern, well invested data stack with genuine scope for impact
