We are a fast-growing, design-led B2B home décor and textiles brand with big ambitions. Over the last 12 months, we have revolutionized our technical foundation, investing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (F&O) and a Microsoft Fabric ecosystem. We are now looking for a seasoned leader to refine our existing infrastructure, optimize our end-to-end data workflows, and bridge the gap between "raw data" and "reliable business intelligence."

This role demands a strong balance of technical depth and operational management. While you must possess expert-level proficiency in data engineering, specifically within the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem and modern data platforms, we also need a leader who is experienced in analytics, data visualization, BI, and translating business needs into analytical solutions. You will be responsible for defining and executing an outcome-based Data & Analytics strategy, building and developing a global team of data engineers, BI developers, and data analysts, and ensuring the company has trusted, scalable, and decision-ready data at every level of the organization.

The ideal candidate is a Fabric-certified or Fabric-trained leader, an exceptional communicator, and a proven people manager who can balance hands‑on technical depth with strategic leadership.
