It's an unconventional team supporting various strategic initiatives and agile transformation workstreams by working through the data we own to unlock ways we can improve things such as:

Could you think about data differently?
This is where things get interesting...
* You'd be working end-to-end with various agile project teams on 6-18 week "sprints" to build out the data requirements that will transform the processes underpinning each journey.
* You'll lead deep dives and extraction (ETL/ELT) from numerous structured and unstructured data sources to support insights and recommendations
* And you'll be bringing cutting-edge tools and approaches to bear on data experiments, discovering opportunities and considering strategic commercial questions.
* You'll also be reviewing and challenging the status quo and generating data innovations around drivers, risks and opportunities
* You'll resolve data lineage and data gap issues and ensure there is an event data layer at every touch point in the new processes.
* Finally you'd present both analysis and visualisations to project leaders to convey the stories to shape and influence thinking.
This is a fast-paced and creative approach to analytics that'll require an understanding of the data elements and architecture along with a mindset that involves checking, testing, iterations and learning quickly through failure.
So, about you...
* You're the sort of confident Data Engineer we're seeking - passionate about data insights, storytelling and growing the capability of people.
