WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Analyse data to assess its structure and content to support design activities
• Tackle complex data design tasks, resolving issues effectively
• Support the design of data processing for the entire data lifecycle
• Develop and maintain data artefacts (i.e. data models, dataflows, dictionaries, glossaries, standards etc)
• Use your data design expertise to guide colleagues across Co-op; making sure data is used appropriately

THIS ROLE WOULD SUIT PEOPLE WHO HAVE

• Experience of data modelling and managing metadata within agile environments
• Knowledge of data modelling techniques (e.g. 3NF and dimensional modelling)
• The ability to maintain metadata artefacts (i.e. data dictionaries, business glossaries, data models, dataflows, and standards)
• Good communication skills, with the ability to clearly present information to technical and non-technical audiences
• Good relationship-building and collaboration skills
  We know that some candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t meet all the criteria in the job description. At Co-op, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you’d like to apply for this role but your experience doesn’t quite meet every point, we’d still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.
