  • Keep up to date with the latest trends around data warehousing, especially AI/machine learning.
  • A strategic and analytical mindset considering the wider business impact in all tasks.
  • Excellent communicator with strong collaboration skills, fostering clear, effective teamwork across diverse groups.


Experience:

  • Experience with a fast moving eCommerce retail business is desirable but not essential.
  • Python or R experience for data analysis and automation is a plus.
  • Exposure to API-based data extraction from systems like Shopify and SnapFulfil.
  • Experience in data handling and management of previous data platforms.
