The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of leading complex data projects with minimal supervision and possess advanced technical skills. A strong strategic mindset and excellent communication skills are essential for influencing stakeholders and driving initiatives forward. Candidates should have extensive experience in SQL, data pipeline tools such as dbt, and designing scalable data architectures. Experience mentoring analysts and working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment is highly desirable. A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field is required; a master’s degree or higher qualification is a plus. We value candidates who are proactive, ownership-driven, and committed to continuous professional development.
