Data Engineering Lead

Data Engineering Lead - London (Hybrid or Office Based)

We are hiring for a fast growing, award winning UK consumer products brand in the health and wellness space, selling internationally across DTC and marketplace channels. Now maturing into a data empowered business.

This is the first dedicated data hire. Reporting has gone from fully manual to an early automated foundation, and you will own the next stage: a secure, centralised, self serve data platform. Hands on from day one, with the opportunity to build and lead a team.

What you will do

• Build and maintain pipelines from source systems (Shopify, Amazon, ad platforms, Northbeam, Klaviyo, ShipBob, Fulfil, Gorgias, Attio) into BigQuery and out to Power BI and Google Sheets
• Improve the unified data layer, judging when to refine architecture and when a tactical fix is right
• Manage the external analytics partner: set requirements, QA output, decide what is built in house
• Own monthly and quarterly reporting analytics so numbers are trusted and reconciled
• Define access models, shared definitions, governance and security from scratch
• Build data literacy through self serve dashboards, documentation and training
• Optimise conversion and behaviour tracking (GTM, GA4, Meta Pixel, Elevar, Northbeam APEX)
• Implement LLM driven analysis workflows on top of clean, structured data

What we are looking for

• 3 to 6 years in data engineering, analytics engineering or a data lead role, ideally in a scaling DTC or e commerce business
• Production pipelines (API integrations, ETL / ELT) into BigQuery, with strong SQL and Python
• dbt or similar transformation tooling, plus confident dashboard building
• Commercially minded, able to turn messy multi source data into numbers leadership trusts
• A self starter who wants to create rather than inherit

Nice to have: e commerce integrations, governance frameworks built from scratch, subscription and omnichannel data, LLM based analytics using MCP, vendor or small team management.

Package

• 70,000 to 85,000 GBP plus growth based bonus
• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
• accelerated career path
• direct access to senior leadership
• weekly socials
• monthly fitness class passes
• Cycle to Work
