• Build governance and compliance into analytical workloads, covering lineage, metadata capture, data quality controls, and audit preparedness.
• Monitor workload performance, cost, and operational stability, then take action to resolve issues and improve efficiency.
• Support prototype work, controlled experiments, and iterative refinement of analytical products.
• Coach and mentor analytics engineers so they can grow their capability, progress in their careers, and deliver consistently.
• Contribute to ongoing improvement work, including tooling enhancements, automation, better documentation, and process optimisation.
• Carry out any other duties that reasonably fit the role.

• Experience in complex data environments or regulated sectors.
• Hands-on troubleshooting skills for analytical modelling, data quality, and performance issues.
