Advantageous Skills:
Exposure to workflow orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow; familiarity with modern data stack tools such as dbt or Delta Lake; exposure to CI/CD practices including SHIP-HATS; familiarity with data governance principles and IM8 compliance standards; and experience with data visualisation tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
Soft Skills & Attributes:
Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to contribute across the project lifecycle from data feasibility studies to post-deployment support; a proactive and analytical approach to problem-solving; and a strong sense of ownership over data quality and pipeline performance.
