We're looking for someone with a background in data architecture or computer science, knowledge of data modelling frameworks, strong analytical skills, and the ability to bridge technical and non-technical teams. Familiarity with data lakes and medallion architecture is a plus.

This role is permanent and full time. You can be based form any of our main office in Chipping Sodbury, Tewkesbury or Wolverhampton. Regular home working is available and a basic DBS check required.
