Why You’d Like It

If you love sinking your teeth into complex data but also enjoy lifting others up, this is the balance you’ve been looking for. You’ll step into a pivotal lead role where your SQL expertise is highly valued, without getting bogged down in pure data engineering. Instead, you get to stay operational, roll up your sleeves, and see the immediate impact of your work on daily and weekly campaigns.

The Story

The team is firing on all cylinders, but to keep the momentum going, we need a dedicated technical leader to steer the ship. The current person in the role has done a brilliant job but is ready to transition into a different internal position that aligns better with their passions. We are looking for someone to hit the ground running as soon as possible so we can facilitate a smooth handover and keep the campaign engine running without missing a beat.

Company Profile

This is a fast-paced, dynamic environment where data isn't just a buzzword—it drives daily commercial decisions. The business relies heavily on fast, accurate insights to shape its customer engagement strategies. It’s a collaborative, supportive workplace where continuous improvement is part of the DNA, and there is a clear management structure above you to handle the wider corporate politics, leaving you free to focus on the data and your team.

Your Role

As the Technical Analytics Lead, you will bridge the gap between technical execution and campaign strategy. You will be the go-to person for daily and weekly campaign performance data, ensuring high-quality output while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Your core responsibilities will include:
  • Running complex SQL queries and remaining highly hands-on with operational data.
  • Leading and coaching a small, capable team of data analysts to elevate their technical skills.
  • Overseeing the delivery of accurate daily and weekly campaign insights and quality assurance.
  • Troubleshooting data anomalies and acting as the main point of contact for campaign-related data queries.
  • Collaborating with data engineering teams, understanding their workflows and timelines without needing to build the infrastructure yourself.
Benefits
  • Competitive Remuneration
  • Strong Leadership Support
  • Immediate Start Available
  • Great Culture
Your Fit

This role is perfect for a senior or lead data analyst who genuinely enjoys operational work and wants to stay close to the tools while stepping into a leadership space.

To thrive in this position, you will bring:
  • Advanced SQL Skills: You are highly proficient with SQL and comfortable navigating large, complex datasets daily.
  • A Coaching Mindset: You enjoy mentoring others, running Q&A sessions, and helping junior analysts grow.
  • An Operational Focus: You prefer fast-paced campaign environments over long-term engineering or architecture projects.
  • Strong Communication: The ability to translate data into actionable campaign insights for stakeholders.
  • A Practical Attitude: A willingness to roll your sleeves up and help the team solve problems during busy periods.
