  • Develop and optimize ETL pipelines to integrate data from various internal and external sources.
  • Work directly with business teams to ensure the data team is meeting the company’s day-to-day needs for reporting, analysis, and data-driven insights.
  • Ensure the data systems are optimised for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.


You’ll Thrive If You Have:


  • Extensive experience as a Lead Data Engineer, with deep expertise in Azure technologies (Data Factory, Synapse, SQL, etc.).
  • Excellent understanding of the reinsurance industry.
  • Strong experience in designing and building data warehouses and ETL pipelines.
  • A hands-on approach, with a desire to stay involved in the technical build and development.
  • Experience managing small teams, with a focus on mentoring and guiding junior engineers.
  • The ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment and solve complex data problems.


What’s In It For You:


  • The opportunity to step up into a Head of Data role without needing to focus on the strategic side.
  • A competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Flexibility for hybrid working.
  • The chance to lead a growing team within a small, dynamic reinsurance company.
