Lead Analytics Engineer
London (1 day a week in office)
Up to £85,000 plus up to 30% bonus
An established consumer business with a strong online presence is hiring a Lead Analytics Engineer to shape how data is modelled, governed and consumed across the wider business. Real ownership, real technical leadership, and a modern stack to build on.
The role
You'd sit within the Analytics Engineering team, working closely with the Analytics Engineering Manager but operating with a lot of autonomy. The role is domain led, meaning you'd take ownership across areas like customer, commercial and operations, shaping the definition and delivery of analytics engineering solutions end to end.
Not a line management role, but a genuine technical leadership one. You'd set the bar for modelling, testing, documentation and governance, mentor the wider team, and be the person other engineers look to on the harder architectural calls.
