This is a rare opportunity to lead from the front — with autonomy, creativity, and a chance to influence senior stakeholders and build something meaningful.
This role is ideal for someone currently in a Senior Data Analyst, BI Developer, or Analytics Lead position who’s ready to step into a more strategic, leadership-focused role. You might not have led a team yet, but you’ve delivered end-to-end data solutions, influenced decision-makers, and are hungry for more ownership, autonomy, and impact.

* Lead conversations with senior stakeholders to identify data opportunities
* Take ownership of data architecture, tooling and platform decisions
* Implement scalable, modern data solutions using tools like Power BI, Fabric, and Databricks
* Build, mentor, and lead a future data team
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed data-first thinking across the business
* Explore and integrate machine learning and AI tools into strategic plans
* Ensure data governance, security, and quality standards are met
Skills & Qualifications
* Proven experience in a senior data, analytics or BI role
* Strong skills in Power BI, SQL, and data modelling
* Experience with modern cloud and data technologies: Azure, Fabric, AWS, Databricks, Spark
* Understanding of machine learning, predictive analytics, and AI platforms
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Comfortable operating independently and driving change
* A strategic thinker who’s excited by the chance to build from the ground up
About the Company
You’ll be joining a growing, forward-thinking business at the forefront of innovation in consumer tech and retail. This is a company that values culture as much as capability — with a relaxed, collaborative environment, modern tech stack, and a strong focus on personal development and future leadership.
Why Work Here
* Chance to own the entire data & AI roadmap from day one
* Hybrid model – 50% onsite in a supportive, collaborative environment
* People-first culture with a focus on growth, learning, and wellbeing
* Cutting-edge tools like Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Azure & more
* Big plans, small egos — and plenty of space to grow a team around you
