This is an exciting opportunity for someone who sits comfortably between data analytics, data engineering and AI, and who is passionate about using data to understand, measure and improve what a technical team is building. You’ll work closely with engineering and data science teams to help answer important questions around what data is available, how it should be structured and analysed, and how it can be used to measure outcomes effectively.

Work closely with engineering and data science teams to understand what is being built and determine how it should be measured.
