  • Proficiency in Azure, Python, and Power BI. Strong understanding of data analytics & engineering
  • Proven ability to lead teams in an agile environment with a go-getter mentality.
  • Experience working with senior stakeholders and the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable working in a lean team and navigating a unique, fast-paced environment.


Requirements

  • London (3 days a week in-office)
  • Occasional global travel.
