Senior Analytics Engineer
6-Month Contract | Immediate Start | Remote/Hybrid
We're partnering with a fast-growing retail subscription business that is investing heavily in its data platform and analytics capabilities. As part of a major transformation programme, they're looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to help modernise their analytics environment, improve data quality, and support the rollout of new business-critical systems and reporting capabilities.
This is a highly visible role where you'll play a key part in ensuring the business has trusted, scalable data foundations that support commercial decision-making, customer insights, performance reporting, and future AI-driven initiatives.
The role is heavily focused on analytics engineering, data modelling, and semantic layer design, rather than dashboard development.
The Opportunity
You'll work closely with data, engineering, product, and commercial stakeholders to:
- Design, build, and optimise scalable dbt models.
- Refactor and modernise existing data models to improve performance, quality, and maintainability.
- Develop robust semantic layer definitions and trusted business metrics.
- Support large-scale data and systems transformation programmes.
- Ensure data quality through testing, monitoring, and engineering best practices.
- Enable self-service analytics across the organisation.
- Contribute to analytics engineering standards, governance, and documentation.
