  • Desirable: Experience in SaaS, gaming, or lottery industries; exposure to analytics, AI, or machine learning workflows
What's on Offer
  • A strategic leadership role with high visibility and impact across internal and client-facing platforms
  • A hybrid working model that supports flexibility and work-life balance, with core collaboration hours from 10am to 2pm
  • A collaborative team environment with strong ties between data engineering, analytics, and product groups
