The ingestion from source systems, including staging the data, transforming the data, and loading the data in a variety of systems, will be performed by the Clarion Data Engineering team with the end-product being a series of data marts or warehouses.

With excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to understand, analyse, and evaluate a complex business scenario and propose an appropriate solution, you'll develop, evaluate and monitor a set of Key Performance Indicators driving performance and taking actions to ensure targets, objectives and standards are exceeded or met.

Exceptional communication skills with the ability to convey concepts to non-technical audiences and extensive experience at engaging, influencing and managing stakeholders is essential.
