This is the right opportunity for a person with 5+ Years experience in a Data Analytics role designing, building, and maintaining the core data models that power critical business decisions.
Requirements
✅ What you will be working on/responsible for
- Deliver a coherent, trusted semantic layer for the business by creating a core set of reusable, well-documented data models (dimensions, facts, and metrics) that become the single source of truth for priority domains such as product usage, customer journey, billing, activation, and performance.
- Drive adoption of these canonical models so that 80%+ of downstream dashboards and analyses rely on them.
- Translate ambiguous, evolving business logic into clear, unambiguous data specifications, producing high-quality requirements and modelling documentation used by engineering, finance, and product teams.
- Improve data reliability and model quality by implementing robust testing, lineage, and auditability across all new models, and systematically refactoring legacy models to remove duplication, ambiguity, and performance bottlenecks.
- Enable self-serve insights by designing intuitive data models and documentation that allow product managers and GTM teams to answer most analytical questions independently.
- Establish and standardise modelling conventions, naming standards, and metric definitions across the organisation to ensure consistent interpretation of data.
- Drive cross-functional alignment on KPIs and business logic, preventing metric drift and leading discussions that bring clarity to ambiguous or sensitive metrics.
✅ Experience we expect you to bring to the role
Required- Deep experience with data modelling (dimensional, semantic, entity-relationship, metric-layer design)
- Proven skill transforming business domain knowledge into structured schemas.
- Mastery of SQL and transformation frameworks
- Experience with data warehouse performance optimisation techniques, including materialisation strategies and cost-aware choices
- Strong data quality, testing, and lineage awareness
- Experience working directly with business partners (Product, GTM, Finance) to understand and codify KPIs
- Experience with Tinybird, ClickHouse, or real-time warehouses
- Experience implementing metric layers or headless BI
- Prior work in a fast-paced Series A or early-stage startup
- Familiarity with schema registries, governance frameworks, and semantic modelling tools
