• Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines (e.g., acquisition BigQuery Looker Studio) to ensure reliable data flow for reporting.
• Manage data warehousing, including defining and optimising data schemas and staging tables for efficiency and reliability.
• Collaborate with analysts to prepare clean, high-quality datasets that translate user behaviour and marketing performance into insight-rich dashboards.
• Debug and troubleshoot tracking issues and liaise with development teams to fix any data collection problems.
