This is a hands-on role where you'll transform raw data into reliable, well-tested models that power reporting, insights, and activation use cases. You'll be part of a large, established analytics engineering community but dedicated to Commercial & Operations domains, with support from a business analyst and data modeller.

• Extend enterprise data models by creating domain-specific dimensions, measures, and KPIs aligned with Commercial & Operations business needs.
• Collaborate with Data BAs, Customer SMEs, and centralized data modelling team to translate business rules into curated data assets.
• Ensure models are well-documented in Alation and adhere to best practices in coding, testing, and version control (GitHub).
• Work closely with centralized Data Engineering and Data Modelling teams to ensure alignment with enterprise frameworks, governance, and standards.
• Provide trusted data outputs to enable BI dashboards, analytics, and reporting for Commercial & Operations teams.
• Enable downstream use cases in BI, reporting, and activation.
• Partner with stakeholders across Commercial, Operations, Technology, Cyber, Data Privacy and Ethics to ensure dependencies and requirements are well understood

Essential:

• 2–5 years of experience in analytics engineering, BI development, or data modelling roles.
• Strong proficiency in SQL (queries, stored procedures, performance optimization).
• Experience with dbt for data transformation and data pipeline management.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (or other modern cloud data platforms).
• Familiarity with data modelling concepts (fact-dimension, star schema, medallion architecture).
• Understanding of business metrics and KPI creation for analytics and BI.
• Experience working with data catalogues (e.g., Alation) and GitHub for version control.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills – able to work with both technical and business stakeholders.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to Commercial & Operations data domains.
• Exposure to data governance, RBAC, or data security concepts.
• Familiarity with downstream BI tools e.g., Power BI
• Knowledge of orchestration and monitoring best practices.
