We are looking for an Analytics Engineer for our technology department. You'll be responsible for developing and improving our business intelligence landscape, promoting the use of Looker for dashboards and Retool for app building.

To be successful in this role you will be an enthusiastic self-starter who will be able to work in both the business and technical domains. As a key member of a small team, you will need to have the skills and experience to confidently produce engaging and informative work. Technically, the role stretches from the building of dbt models to the creation of clear and engaging visualisations, and covers everything in between.

This role will be remote (UK-based), with an expectation of one or two days per quarter in the office. The office is less than a 5 minute walk from the train station, with trains directly into London and elsewhere.
