Translate complex data into intuitive dashboards and tools with Power BI
Be hands-on in everything from modelling and scripting to permissions and performance tuning

What we’re looking for:
8+ years of experience in data engineering, with deep technical expertise across SQL, Snowflake, Azure, DBT , and Power BI
Strong Python skills and experience integrating third-party systems via APIs
A confident communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical teams
Proven ability to deliver efficient, scalable solutions in fast-paced, regulated environments
Someone who values diligence, accountability, and proactivity as much as technical excellence

Why join?
A rare blend of purpose, scale, and flexibility
£65,000 – £80,000 salary + up to 10% bonus
28 days holiday + bank holidays
7% employer pension, 5x salary life insurance, health cash plan, critical illness cover
Flexible, hybrid working + £250 home working setup
Volunteer days, workcations, and a positive, impact-driven culture

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape both technology and purpose. If you're excited by meaningful data work and want to be part of something bigger, we’d love to hear from you.
If you are interested, but don’t think you tick all the boxes, we are still keen to hear from you. Please apply directly to this advert, or reach out to Adam Townsend:
