Hands-on analytics leadership at a retail AI firm: run the warehouse, the transformation layer and the BI stack, and manage a small team of analysts and analytics engineers. Remote in the UK.

About the role

The team is small, so the director still reviews models, queries the warehouse and makes the tooling calls. The job is to turn raw data into decisions executives can trust, with governance that holds up under customer scrutiny.
