You’ll work in a data product squad to design, build and deliver beautiful data products and insights to our business, collaborating with our technical leads and the broader data team. You’ll be a leader in the team ensuring our platform standards and practices are followed, including recommending practice improvements to our technical leads, and coaching/mentoring junior team members.
At Contact although technical skills are important, so are the soft skills you bring to the table. The work you do will enable stakeholders to save money, save time, and add value so they can concentrate on delivering some pretty audacious and important goals Contact have (like working towards the decarbonisation of Aotearoa).
We are working on a modern data platform that is still growing, so there is a lot of scope for growing and understanding current trends and emerging technology in this role.

Here’s some technical skills we’ll be searching for in your application;
Designed and deployed data pipelines and solutions in complex environments
