Responsibilities include-

• Maintain and optimise the Marts Layer writing clean modular SQL transformations in dbt that serve as the single source of truth for the organisation.
• Act as the key technical support for the Business Intelligence environment (Lightdash). You will handle the configuration of the code-based modeling layer troubleshoot technical issues and ensure that metrics are defined consistently across the platform.
• Drive adoption and trust by building showcase charts and visuals on top of your models. You will use these to demo new data capabilities to stakeholders proving the reliability of the data and building their confidence to self-serve..

• Data Modeling Fundamentals - You understand the concept of a Golden Layer and are eager to learn more advanced dimensional modeling concepts (star schema fact/dimension tables snapshots).
• Data Stack Exposure - You have exposure to (or a conceptual understanding of) cloud data warehousing for example: AWS Redshift and orchestration tools (like Airflow). You dont need to be an expert but you understand where they fit in the modern data stack.
• Collaborative Mindset - You enjoy working in a team environment and partnering directly with Data Analysts and Business Stakeholders. You are eager to learn from senior analytics and data engineers.
• Interest in Innovation & AI - You are curious about the intersection of AI Automation and Analytics. You want to learn how to implement AI-driven features and define metrics via the YAML Layer to help the business self-serve more autonomously.
