• Developing dashboards and reports that provide real business value.
• Leading projects that make an immediate and measurable impact.
• Helping define best practices and setting the tone for a growing data function.

?? What We're Looking For

• Strong SQL skills and experience in ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Comfort working with digital marketing data and KPIs (CAC, LTV, conversion rates).
• Familiarity with integrating data from platforms like Hubspot, Google Ads, Meta, etc.
• Experience with BI/dashboarding tools and visualisation.
• A pragmatic, problem-solving mindset with strong communication skills.

Nice to have:
Experience with dbt or Airflow, Python/R for analysis, or knowledge of A/B testing and marketing attribution.
