About the Role As a Data Engineer, you will help bring the organisation’s data function in-house, taking ownership of an existing data warehouse from a third-party provider following a structured handover. The role is approximately 90% data engineering and 10% reporting support and occasional wider IT tasks, with no application or UI development. You will work closely with the Data Analyst and directly with data owners across the business, including operations and finance, to understand end-to-end business processes and turn business questions into reliable data solutions. You will also communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders, including the CEO and directors. This is a permanent, full-time role. For the global route,
