About the role
We’re partnering with a well-regarded consultancy delivering modern data platforms and analytics outcomes for enterprise clients. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can lead delivery, shape solutions, and partner closely with stakeholders from early discovery through to production-ready data products.
You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and consulting: building robust platforms in Databricks, uplifting ways of working, and helping clients get tangible value from their data.
What you’ll be doing
• Leading end-to-end delivery of data platform and analytics engagements (discovery → design → build → uplift → handover).
• Designing and building Databricks solutions (lakehouse patterns, medallion architecture, Delta, batch/stream where relevant).
• Developing high-quality pipelines and transformations (often using PySpark / SQL), with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Implementing good engineering practices: CI/CD, testing, observability, documentation, and secure-by-design delivery.
• Partnering with client stakeholders to translate business problems into pragmatic technical approaches and delivery plans.
• Coaching others in the team (reviewing work, setting standards, supporting capability uplift).
• Contributing to proposals, estimates, and shaping future opportunities (depending on your interest).
What’s on offer
• A chance to work on meaningful, high-impact data programmes with strong delivery focus (not just “strategy decks”).
• A supportive consulting environment with good engineering standards and room to influence patterns and tooling.
• Hybrid flexibility (project-dependent) and a team that values outcomes, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Competitive salary package (aligned to experience) + clear pathway for growth into broader tech leadership if that’s where you want to head.
