Skills & Experience

• SQL & Python Proficiency:Strong SQL skills, complemented by experience with Python for enhanced data transformation and modeling; experience with ETL tools and Git version control systems (GitHub or Bitbucket).
• Pipeline Development:Ability to design and build scalable data pipelines, with hands-on experience using ETL tools for data transformation.

The role has a blended base, between our Central London office and home. We trust you to make the right decision about the type of work that is best done in each location. We expect you'll achieve a 50/50 split between the two and there may be times where you'll want to visit our other locations to tell their stories, too (fully reimbursed).

We might not be right for you if:

• You only want to focus on your to-do list; we’re a small, high-performing team, we help each other to succeed.
• You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, we learn and iterate as we go; our environment isn’t right for everyone.
• You’re looking to create but not build; this is an end-to-end role, you need to be comfortable owning your space, from ideation through to delivery and review.

If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please do still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.

In return you’ll get perks that take you places:

• Access to non-contractual Annual Bookable Travel Concessions for you and up to 3 nominees.
