• Work with business and IT stakeholders to understand requirements and develop effective solutions.
• Lead data and technology projects through to implementation and go-live.
• Support system rollouts, data migration and localisation across multiple markets.
• Manage application performance, incidents, enhancements and change.

• Communicate effectively with both technical and senior business stakeholders.

• Proven experience delivering data and analytics solutions within an IT environment.
• Strong Microsoft Azure experience, particularly:

• Experience with third-party suppliers, budgets and contracts.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
