Your Impact
Key Responsibilities
Strategic
Data Foundation: Design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines and
architectures (maximising HANA, Snowflake and external data sources) to
enable reliable, timely, and well-structured data for analytics,
dashboards, and modeling. Insight
Acceleration: Partner closely with analytics managers, data analysts, and
data scientists to deliver insights that directly advise executive sales,
planning, and go-to-market strategies. Business
Partnership: Collaborate with business and strategy partners to understand
evolving requirements and translate them into technical data solutions
that support growth initiatives-such as segmentation, customer insights,
and new go-to-market approaches. Efficiency
and Automation: Identify and automate manual or repetitive data processes,
