Specifically, you will be joining their new Data Engineering team and working with their client’s front office and technology teams, leveraging proprietary systems and industry-leading tools. This will involve helping to implement data automation and quality control techniques for greater efficiency, contributing to their data governance framework and incrementally building and maintain a new inhouse data platform.

Additionally, you will gain exposure to multiple data types across different asset classes and will have unparalleled opportunities to broaden your expertise and refine your skills, whilst helping to shape the culture of the company.

Key skills and attributes:
• Experience in data roles and a passion for helping stakeholders realize the full potential of data.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python, backed by demonstrable work experience.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex concepts to non-experts.
• A minimum 2.1 degree in Computer Science or a related field (Russell Group university preferred).

This is a great chance to work on impactful projects and tackle real-world challenges, in a culture built on fostering growth through exposure to cutting-edge tools and technologies and learning directly from industry-leading experts. As well as delivering exceptional results, you will work in an environment where curiosity, ownership, and initiative are celebrated, whilst contributing to the vision and trajectory of the business.
