  • Support analytics and reporting through high-quality, structured data models.
  • Produce documentation and technical reports covering data models, pipelines, and architecture.


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience delivering data migration or integration projects, ideally with ERP/CRM systems such as Microsoft Dynamics.
  • Strong technical skills in Python, including libraries such as Pandas and NumPy.
  • Hands-on experience with ETL design, data warehousing, and relational databases (SQL).
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL and data modelling techniques.
  • Knowledge of cloud data platforms (Azure preferred, AWS or GCP also considered).
  • Experience working with APIs and tools like Postman for integration testing and troubleshooting.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.


What’s on Offer

  • Salary: £60,000 - £65,000 per annum
  • Remote working with team meet ups centrally located on a monthly basis.
  • Support for training, certification, and professional development
  • The opportunity to work within a fast-moving, acquisition-driven organisation shaping its data future
