In this role, you’ll be involved in all stages of the data product lifecycle. This includes identifying and analysing data sources, designing conceptual and physical data models, defining business-relevant measures and attributes, and producing deep dive analysis and operational reporting.

You’ll take ownership of implementation and adoption, working closely with teams across technology, product, and systems to ensure that processes, systems, and data products are effectively planned, developed, and delivered.

You’ll also be responsible for communicating insights and analysis generated from the data products you’ve built with key stakeholders from within the business, playing a vital role in supporting strategic changes to operational practices.
