Data Engineer
Leeds | Office Based
£45,000 - £55,000 
 
Focus 5 Recruitment are partnering with a fast-growing multi-brand business to recruit a Data Engineer. This role is office based 5 days a week. 
 
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Data Engineer who wants genuine ownership and the chance to shape the way data is managed, structured and utilised across a growing organisation.
 
As the business continues to expand, data is becoming increasingly critical to decision-making across operations, finance, marketing and leadership teams. This role will play a central part in ensuring the organisation has accurate, reliable and accessible data that supports future growth.
 
This isn't a role where you'll be one person in a large data team. You'll be the individual responsible for building and maintaining the foundations that allow the business to make smarter decisions and scale with confidence.
 
The Role
 
Reporting into the Group Operations Manager, you'll take ownership of the organisation's data infrastructure, integrity and reporting capability.
 
Working closely with stakeholders across multiple departments, you'll design and maintain scalable data solutions while ensuring data quality, security and governance standards are upheld.
 
Key responsibilities include:

• Designing, building and maintaining robust data pipelines across multiple systems and platforms
• Owning data integrity, governance and quality standards across the organisation
• Developing scalable data storage and warehousing solutions to support business growth
• Creating reporting frameworks and dashboards that provide meaningful business insight
• Integrating data from operational, financial, marketing and third-party systems
• Identifying and resolving data quality issues whilst implementing monitoring and validation processes
• Ensuring compliance with GDPR and data governance requirements
• Collaborating with operational and leadership teams to translate business requirements into data solutions
• Documenting data structures, processes and best practices to create a reliable single source of truth

About You
 
We're looking for a technically strong and commercially aware Data Engineer who enjoys solving problems and creating scalable solutions.
 
You'll be comfortable working independently, taking ownership and engaging with stakeholders across the business.
 
You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Data Engineer or similar data-focused role
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational databases
• Experience using Python or another relevant programming language within data environments
• Experience designing and managing cloud-based data infrastructure and warehousing solutions
• A strong understanding of data quality, governance and integrity principles
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• The ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working with reporting and visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau or similar

Experience within healthcare, regulated industries or multi-site businesses would be beneficial, but is not essential.
 
What's in it for You?

• Salary of £45,000 - £55,000 depending on experience
• The opportunity to take ownership of data infrastructure across a growing organisation
• A role with genuine influence on business performance and decision-making
• Exposure to a wide range of data, systems and business functions
• A collaborative and ambitious working environment
• The chance to help build the foundations for future growth

This is an excellent opportunity for a Data Engineer who wants to move beyond maintaining existing systems and play a key role in building a scalable data function within a growing business.
