## Description

We're partnering with a fast-growing retail subscription business that is investing heavily in its data platform and analytics capabilities.

 * Design, build, and optimise scalable dbt models.
 * Refactor and modernise existing data models to improve performance, quality, and maintainability.
 * Develop robust semantic layer definitions and trusted business metrics.
 * Support large-scale data and systems transformation programmes.
 * Ensure data quality through testing, monitoring, and engineering best practices.
 * Enable self-service analytics across the organisation.
 * Contribute to analytics engineering standards, governance, and documentation., We're particularly interested in speaking with Analytics Engineers who enjoy solving complex data modelling challenges, improving data quality, and building trusted datasets that drive better business decisions at scale.
