Job description
About us
We're Transform.
Transform is a fresh alternative to Big Consulting. As an end-to-end transformation partner, we define, design, build and operate systems that solve our clients’ toughest challenges and seize their biggest opportunities. That often means combining strategy, data, AI, technology, and change management. Sometimes we manage and operate the systems we create; other times, we hand it over for the client to run – standing by to make improvements when things change. It all comes down to making an impact: improving lives, supporting citizens, streamlining workflows, and making the world a better place. We specialise in public sector and public-facing organisations—from government agencies and local authorities to energy, utilities, transportation and healthcare. We also work for some of the world’s most dynamic brands across automotive, retail, financial services, and consumer goods. We work closely (often on site) with our clients; to deliver impact you are keen to help us build the workforce of the future, we should talk.
We’re all in! That's what gets us out of bed every day. We hope you feel the same.

You will contribute to the delivery of a range of data products that support business intelligence, reporting, analytics, and AI-driven use cases, ensuring data is accessible, reliable, secure, and fit for purpose.
Working collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, you will engage closely with other engineers, product owners, business analysts, data architects, data analysts, project managers, and data scientists to understand business requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions. You will be responsible for developing and optimising data pipelines and integrating diverse data sources within cloud-based data platforms.
As a senior member of the team, you will provide technical guidance, promote engineering best practices, and contribute to the continuous improvement of delivery processes, tooling, and standards. You will champion data quality, ensuring that solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with organisational and regulatory requirements.
We are looking for individuals who bring a growth mindset and a passion for continuous learning. You will be curious about emerging technologies, particularly within the AI and data landscape, and proactive in identifying opportunities to innovate and improve delivery.
