We are building Nexus, a consolidated data warehouse that will be the single reliable source for Commercial, Manufacturing, Finance, Marketing and every other function across the group. This is a build role with real ownership from day one and a clear path to broader responsibility. You will report to the group's Global Director of Strategy & Corporate Development. What you'll do * Lead the creation of production-grade, documented and stable data infrastructure. * Build and maintain pipelines that bring data in cleanly from ERP, CRM and shop floor systems, and keep it flowing as sources change. * Own the reporting layer: shape raw data into usable models and reporting that ties the numbers to how the group's companies operate. * Take over development and day-to-day maintenance of the system, working alongside current technical leadership. * Turn requirements from the group CEO and leadership team into working code. Our stack Fivetran lands ERP data into Databricks on Azure, where a medallion model (bronze, silver, gold) governed by Unity Catalog is built in SQL and Python and deployed from GitHub. The gold layer is mirrored nightly into Azure PostgreSQL and served through an Entra-gated web portal.
