This is a precision data delivery role — not a dashboarding or engineering position. You will own one of IWSR’s core data products end-to-end: ingesting, processing, and distributing it on a monthly cadence to senior external clients, while driving its ongoing modernisation.
If you are energised by accurate, high-stakes data work — where getting it right every time genuinely matters — this role is built for you.
Please note: if your experience is primarily in Azure Data Factory, Databricks pipelines, or Power BI dashboard development, this role is unlikely to be a strong fit

What you’ll do
* Own and deliver a dedicated data product on a monthly cycle — from raw ingestion through to client-ready output
