Role Overview:
We are looking for a hands-on Data & Analytics Platform Specialist to support delivery of a secure, cloud-based analytics platform within a MOD environment.
This is a delivery-focused role, not a pure architecture or advisory position. The successful candidate will contribute directly to build, configuration, and implementation, while working closely with developers, data engineers, and MOD stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as a hands-on platform specialist on a secure cloud analytics platform
- Contribute directly to build, configuration, and implementation
- Support delivery from POC to MVP, considering scalability, security, and governance
- Provide technical input across:
- Data ingestion & transformation (SQL)
- Notebook-based analytics (Python / R)
- Dashboards & visualisation (Power BI / Tableau / Superset or similar)
- Contribute to analytics over identity, access, and entitlement-related data
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Support teams to become self-sufficient over time
Essential Skills & Experience:
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud-based data & analytics platforms
- Background in data engineering, analytics platforms, or data science enablement
- Proven experience delivering POC → MVP / production
- Understanding of security, governance, scalability, and reuse
- Ability to simplify complexity and communicate technical trade-offs clearly
Note:
- This role is for a hands-on Data & Analytics Platform Specialist with active SC clearance who can start immediately.
- The candidate must personally build and configure a secure, cloud-based analytics platform (not just design or advise).
- Experience taking platforms from POC to MVP, working with Python/SQL, dashboards, and cloud environments is essential
- It’s a delivery-focused role in an MOD environment, requiring clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Desirable Experience:
- Experience in secure or regulated environments (MOD, defence, government)
- Exposure to identity, access management, or security-related datasets
- Experience supporting multiple teams on a shared analytics platform
