We’re working with a highly respected UK investment management business looking to strengthen its reporting and analytics capabilities. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Data Engineer to play a key role in building out the firm’s data function and delivering high-quality insight for institutional pension fund clients.

You’ll help develop the data strategy (including reporting and analytics functions) to support the firm’s investment operations and fiduciary management activities. The role will combine hands‑on data engineering with performance reporting, attribution, and oversight of key investment data providers. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure data accuracy, operational efficiency, and insightful reporting across a broad range of asset classes.

• Develop data processes, models, and reporting structures in the cloud environment
• Manage data integrity and control frameworks across multiple systems (e.g., CRIMS, custodians, data warehouses)
• Support the end‑to‑end client reporting cycle, including performance and attribution reporting
• Collaborate with service providers to improve data quality and automate workflows
• Contribute to the ongoing enhancement of the firm’s data and analytics strategy

• Strong technical skills in SQL, Excel, and Python (non‑negotiable)
• Experience in data analysis, performance reporting, or investment operations
• Background in financial services (pensions, asset management, or custodians) preferred
• Familiarity with reporting tools such as Power BI, Fact Set, or Bloomberg PORT
• Detail‑focused, analytical, and comfortable managing large data sets
• Collaborative and proactive, with excellent communication skills

This is an exciting chance to join a growing, purpose‑driven investment organisation at the forefront of innovation in UK pensions and asset management. You’ll have the freedom to influence how the data and reporting functions evolves, working alongside a highly experienced leadership team (dotted line to SLT for the incumbent).
