Description
About CTIJoin 150+ strategists and specialists who refuse to settle, creating bold digital experiences for ambitious brands since 2004. We're a full-service digital agency delivering strategic consultancy, web development, and digital marketing to drive demand online. Using over two decades of industry experience, we provide next-gen solutions as part of lasting partnerships with hundreds of clients from Chester Zoo and Zip World to Balfour Beatty and Mind.
What makes us different
* We break new ground. You'll work on innovative projects using the latest technologies before they hit the mainstream. We celebrate calculated risks and learn fast from every experiment.
* We get stuck in together. There is genuine collaboration across all departments. Your ideas matter here, regardless of your role or how long you've been with us.
* We stay curious. Continuous learning is essential. You'll have dedicated time and budget for development, working alongside industry experts who are genuinely invested in your success.
* We own it. Full accountability and autonomy over your work means you'll build client relationships, see real-world impact, and be recognised when you go the extra mile.
Our Data & Insights team underpins key decision-making across CTI, driving smarter business outcomes with clear, consistent, and actionable insights. This team blends engineering rigour with strategic thinking to build and maintain robust data systems that fuel analytics and business intelligence. As part of the broader Technology function, you'll work closely with stakeholders from across the business to ensure our data infrastructure delivers impact at every level.
What you’ll be doing
As our Data Systems Engineer, you'll take ownership of our cloud-based data infrastructure and reporting ecosystem. You'll play a critical role in transforming fragmented data into trusted, structured systems that power decision-making across the business. You'll:
* Maintain, extend and optimise our central data warehouse and associated ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) pipelines.
* Build reliable data models, combining datasets from multiple platforms into a fully related and normalised structure suitable for performance tracking and reporting.
* Develop and manage visualisations in Tableau Cloud, transforming complex data into intuitive, actionable dashboards and reports.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to understand reporting needs and deliver scalable, fit-for-purpose BI solutions.
* Continuously review data structures and reporting outputs, identifying improvements that drive insight, efficiency, and operational performance.
* Implement and manage rigorous data quality assurance processes, ensuring accuracy, integrity and completeness.
* Partner with a programme coordinator to maintain a roadmap of system improvements and prioritise delivery with key business stakeholders.
* Ensure the security and proper access of company data in compliance with best practices.
* Maintain clear documentation for all systems, processes, and data flows.
What experience you need to be successful
We're not looking for perfection, we're looking for potential. This role would suit someone who's recently graduated or is early in their career and wants to grow in a hands-on data role. If the following sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you:
* You've used Tableau (or a similar BI tool like Power BI or Looker) to build dashboards or reports.
* You have a good grasp of data analysis, and can spot trends or inconsistencies in numbers.
* You're comfortable writing and editing SQL queries.
* You're naturally curious and like digging into data to answer real questions.
* You enjoy simplifying the complex and presenting information clearly.
* You're organised, detail-oriented, and open to feedback.
* Bonus: experience working with cloud tools like Google Sheets, HubSpot, or any ELT tools (e.g., Fivetran).
