Woodgreen Pets Charity has been helping pets and their owners live happier, healthier lives for over 100 years. From rehoming and community support to education and advocacy, our work is powered by dedicated people and a data led approach.
Woodgreen is in an exciting period of growth and transformation and we are seeking a Data Engineer to help strengthen and evolve our data platform as we become a more digital, data-led, pet services organisation. As this is a hands-on role in a small-to-medium environment we are looking for someone who can work pragmatically, apply good judgement, and steadily improve how data is captured, modelled and used across our organisation.
Working closely with, and reporting to, our Senior Data Manager, you will help design, build and maintain reliable data pipelines and models across the Microsoft data ecosystem, including Azure, SQL, Synapse, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. Our platform uses a mix of these technologies today, and you’ll play a key role in helping us evolve it over time, improving reliability, consistency and usability for teams across Woodgreen. You will also contribute to good data management practices such as documentation, data quality controls, clear definitions and proportionate governance that helps colleagues use data confidently.
Just as important as technical skills is your ability to work with people. You will partner with colleagues across fundraising, corporate and pet services to understand their needs, translate them into workable data solutions, and communicate clearly and respectfully throughout. We’re looking for someone collaborative and delivery-focused, who prioritises data quality and sustainable, maintainable ways of working.
You’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference to Woodgreen, our customers and supporters, and the animals that we care for.
