This data platform will initially be used to support MDM requirements and over time will expand to provide core capability for leveraging data across our organisation. In order to support this initiative, we are looking to hire a Data Engineer who will play a significant role in delivering this capability.
Beyond the immediate use cases around the data platform, there are ample opportunities to influence the data approach to CFC and pioneer new initiatives to support the companies goals. We expect this role to be a mixture of hands-on development work and strategic thinking.
