In this journey AZ must continue to work across borders and with partners and new colleagues in a fast and seamless way.

Take the lead in shaping AstraZeneca s enterprise analytics as an Engineering Lead on our new SAP analytics stack!

We are looking for an engineering lead who wants to create a team of engineers who build data pipelines and visualisations on the new SAP analytics stack (Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud).

We are building out teams to face key finance and operations process areas. And, more importantly for this advert, we are building out an enterprise team to build and run the cross-cutting data products and dashboards. Data products like dimensions for business partner, material master, cost centre, profit centre, location and geography; or fact tables for complex multi-process reporting and exports to other data hubs. This team will be self-sufficient, so will deliver the end-2-end suite of analytics assets: data pipelines, data analysis, data modelling, testing, incident management. The team will work in a transparent and agile way, meaning there will be a published roadmap of analytics products and a constant flow of new work from across the Axial program and AZ. You will lead the team that creates the most re-used analytics artefacts on the stack. This means you need to have a passion for well-engineered analytics. You are likely to have experience of some (but not all) of the following: ETL tooling; data modelling; SAP analytics tooling; dashboard creation; analytics best practices; data warehousing; data modelling; analytics testing.
