The data model of your business area. Entities, granularity, dimensional models, metrics and definitions. You decide what the source of truth is and where the boundaries of the business area sit. Definitions are treated as a product here: one owner, one documented definition, one place where it is computed, the same value wherever it is consumed.
The relationship with stakeholders. You co‑own the KPI set the business steers by: what we look at every week, how it is defined, and when it needs to change. You are expected to reframe the question when the question is the problem. On smaller or ongoing work, you agree priorities directly with your stakeholders. On the wider roadmap, you set priorities together with your manager, including what we can postpone or deprioritise.
Analysis, sized to the business area. The split between analysis and development depends on the business area you look after, and it can change over time.
Trust in the numbers. You build validation rules and monitoring on your own models, so that data issues are caught before the data reaches a dashboard or a stakeholder. When something goes wrong, you handle it end to end: find the cause, explain the business impact, fix it and add a test so it does not happen again.
Leverage beyond yourself. What you learn about your business area becomes reusable for the whole department — documented models, shared glossaries and AI context, automations
Claude is part of the standard toolkit of this department, connected to our own systems, and it changes what we consider skilled work. Writing correct SQL is no longer the scarce part. Deciding what correct means, and building the context that lets both people and agents get it right, is.
In practice that means: agentic development as the default for SQL, dbt, Python and documentation, with normal engineering discipline around it; context written and maintained by you — instruction files, reusable skills, business glossaries, model documentation — because the quality of the output depends on it; agent‑assisted data quality work with a human review gate wherever it feeds a business decision; and clear‑eyed judgement about where these tools are unreliable in this specific business area.
We are not looking for prompt‑writing as a job. We are looking for someone whose modelling and business judgement is worth multiplying.
