This is an exciting opportunity to establish our Analytical Engineering practice from scratch, working on a modern Databricks stack with Tableau and Power BI as our primary BI tools. This role sits at the intersection of Data Engineering and BI. You will work closely Data Engineering who own our data pipelines, Databricks infrastructure and data intelligence, and with BI Developers and Insight Analysts who deliver reporting and insight to stakeholders. The purpose of this role is to bridge both worlds, taking reliable data from our reporting layer and transforming it into a trusted, well-documented semantic layer that the whole team can build from. The ultimate goal is to successfully unlock self serve reporting across the organisation. Key Tasks & Accountabilities Build the Analytics Engineering practice * Provide the business context for the mart layers of our data architecture, feeding into BI-ready tables that support self-serve analytics across the business. * Create a single source of truth for business metric definitions - KPIs, business logic, and calculation rules. This should be accessible to all BI tools. * Take responsibility for data quality initiatives and own documentation around the semantic layer. Work across teams * Partner with Data Engineering to agree handoff boundaries, raise upstream data requirements, and flag quality issues at source. * Work with Insight Analysts to encode business logic and stakeholder requirements into reliable, reusable data models. * Support BI Developers in consuming the semantic layer efficiently within Tableau and Power BI. * Participate in regular cross-departmental syncs with Data Engineering to keep both teams aligned. Upskill and develop the team * Work closely with the BI Manager to coach BI Developers in Analytics Engineering best practices considering tools such as dbt * Create clear documentation and playbooks so that team members can contribute to any dbt project independently. * Be an internal advocate for Analytics Engineering standards across both the BI team and Data Engineering.
