In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in extracting, analyzing, and interpreting vast datasets generated by our internal applications and client-facing platforms.

This could involve everything from optimizing database queries to identifying critical user journeys or predicting future application demands based on historical data.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of data warehousing principles, advanced SQL skills for querying intricate databases, and proficiency with data visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Qlik Sense. Experience with scripting languages such as Python or R for data manipulation and statistical analysis will be highly regarded. If you are passionate about data, eager to solve complex problems, and ready to make a significant impact from the comfort of your home office, we encourage you to apply. You will contribute to projects that enhance operational efficiency, inform product development roadmaps, and ultimately contribute to FDM Group’s strategic growth and client success, fostering a culture of data-driven excellence.
