    We have an exciting new role for a Junior Data Visualisation Developer to join our Data Centre of Excellence; a key function that sits within our broader in-house Technology division. This is an initial 9-month FTC to support our upcoming SAP to Snowflake Data Bridge Project.

    Our Data Team is leading on a data transformation across Penguin Random House UK, delivering a data strategy that is having a positive impact on providing better insight and informing faster decision making. We’ve updated our technology and implemented the modern data stack of cutting edge, cloud-based components for most of our data pipelines. But we’ve got one big, gnarly problem left to solve – connecting SAP to Snowflake and Power BI to provide better financial insight and analysis. This is an exciting time to join us and deploy your skills to help us tackle this challenge.

    • Developing, supporting and troubleshooting visualisation Products

    • Comfortable working with and manipulating large datasets
    • Desire to improve processes to increase efficiency
    • Experience working in a project team to deliver a specified output
    • Clear and confident communicator – able to communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience

    Desirable:

    • Knowledge or experience of SQL
    • Knowledge of databases, data warehouses and data lakes
    • Experience working in an agile team
    • Experience of working with a BI Tool (such as Power BI, Tableau, Spotfire, Qlik Looker)

    Our approach to hybrid working

    While our offices are places for you to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, having flexibility about where you work is just as important for doing your best work and for your wellbeing. So, we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to how we work across Penguin Random House UK.

    For this role, there are regular meetings and activities that you will need to attend in person mainly at our offices in Nine Elms and Pimlico. Outside of these moments, you can choose to work remotely.

    The exact balance of office to remote working can be discussed with your future manager during the recruitment process. What we can say now is that you won’t need to go into the office five days a week (unless of course you want to!)

    Please apply with your CV and cover letter by Wednesday 5th October. All interviews will be held virtually.

    Salary is £30,000 - £37,000 dependent on how your skills and experience align to the role, plus bonus and benefits.
