  • An understanding of the modern data and analytics toolchains, from Python notebooks and data ingestion/ETL/ELT tooling along with standard/enterprise reporting tools and platforms (for example - but not restricted to - Looker Studio, Power BI, Alteryx, Tableau).

You will:

  • Work with some of the most exciting new technologies.
