Description

Are you committed to bringing your best to life every day? At Acenda, we draw on over 135 years of heritage to empower a brighter future with security and confidence. Our values-driven business strives for high performance and growth as we look towards the future. As part of the global Nippon Life Group, we will enhance our capabilities and further strengthen our enduring commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do. And to support our partners to do the same. We believe that when people have the support, clarity, and confidence they need, they can do their best work and build a future they’re proud of. We encourage our people to take life on – inside and outside of work – to grow and make a real impact for our customers, partners, and each other. The role Reporting into the Head of Data and Analytics, the Data Engineering Manager role is a 12-month fixed term contract opportunity. As Data Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for leading the data engineering practice at Acenda, defining and implementing strategies at acquiring data and promoting the implementation and deployment of the Acenda Enterprise Data Warehouse.

You will be responsible for overseeing engineering best practices, implementing a disciplined Data Engineering operating model, building, and maintaining a reliable data platform based on efficient ETL processes. In addition, you will define and monitor data engineering metrics, analyse data, and lead partnership with other Data and Analytics team members to implement data assets (data lake, data vault, data marts) and process improvements initiatives.

You are well-versed in using Informatica as a data engineering platform and ideally have experience using Snowflake in an AWS environment. Lastly, you possess the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders across the business, enabling you to influence and contribute to meaningful decision making.
