Data-driven. Insight-led. Business-focused. If you’re an experienced Data Engineer looking for a role where you can shape the entire data strategy, this could be for you.

We’re partnering with a high-growth FinTech challenger that’s transforming later-life lending. They need a Lead Data Consultant who can architect, optimise, and scale their data platform—not just to manage pipelines, but to drive customer insights, segmentation, and acquisition strategies.

You’ll be responsible for:
✅ Data Strategy & Leadership – advising on best practices for scalability, cost efficiency, and governance
✅ Data Engineering & Modelling – designing ETL/ELT pipelines, optimising the AWS-based data lake
✅ Customer & Business Insight – enabling customer segmentation and predictive modelling to drive growth
✅ Stakeholder Enablement – enhancing self-service analytics via Looker and other BI tools
✅ Cost & Performance Optimisation – improving data ingestion and transformation while keeping cloud costs low

Tech Stack & Tools

Cloud & Storage: AWS (DMS, Lambda, Glue, S3, Athena)
Data Processing: Python, Parquet
BI & Analytics: Looker
Data Ingestion: Stitch
Data Sources: Broker & customer data, mortgage applications, affordability models, CRM (HubSpot), marketing campaigns, property data, FCA & valuation data

Who We’re Looking For

A strategic problem-solver – you understand the challenges a FinTech faces and how data can solve them
A hands-on engineer – you’ve built and optimised cloud-based data platforms
A commercial thinker – you can translate data into meaningful business insights
A cost-conscious leader – you can balance innovation with efficiency

Why Apply?

Own the data function – be the go-to expert, setting the data strategy from the ground up
Equity in a growing FinTech – share in the company’s success
Fully remote (UK-based) – work from anywhere with flexibility
Make a real impact – your insights will shape customer strategy and acquisition
