    Job Description

    • Are you passionate about using Data and AI to solve real business problems?
    • iqbusiness is looking for a Data Professional (Data + AI) to join our growing Solutions and Insights team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working across modern data platforms, analytics, and applied AI — and who thrives in a consulting environment where impact, learning, and delivery matter.
    • You’ll work with clients across industries to design, build, and deliver end‑to‑end data and AI solutions, helping organisations make better decisions, modernise their platforms, and unlock value from their data.

    Core Responsibilities

    As a Data Professional, you’ll contribute across the full delivery lifecycle, depending on the engagement:

    • Engage with business and technical stakeholders to understand problems, define requirements, and shape data and AI solutions
    • Design and deliver trusted data foundations, including data models, pipelines, and governed data assets
    • Build scalable data solutions for batch and real‑time use cases on modern cloud platforms
    • Analyse data to uncover insights and support data‑driven decision‑making
    • Where relevant, design, build, and operationalise machine learning and Generative AI solutions
    • Apply strong engineering and quality practices (testing, CI/CD, documentation, governance)
    • Work as a trusted consultant, taking ownership of outcomes and contributing to solution shaping and client success

    Requirements

    We don’t expect everyone to be deep in every area — but you should have solid experience in data delivery, with strengths in several of the following:

    Data & Analytics

    • Strong SQL and data transformation skills
    • Data warehousing concepts and data modelling (relational and/or dimensional)
    • Experience producing data specifications, mappings, and documentation
    • BI and reporting exposure (e.g. Power BI or similar)

    Data Engineering & Cloud

    • Building data pipelines and platforms in cloud environments (Azure and/or AWS)
    • Experience with modern data tooling (data lakes, orchestration, analytics engines)
    • Exposure to DevOps and CI/CD practices for data solutions

    AI & Advanced Analytics (advantageous)

    • Applied analytics or statistical modelling experience
    • Hands‑on experience with machine learning or Generative AI solutions
    • Exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, embeddings, or AI integration into business systems
    • Understanding of MLOps, model deployment, and monitoring

    What success looks like

    In this role, success means:

    • Delivering high‑quality, scalable data and AI solutions that solve real client problems
    • Building solutions that are reliable, well‑governed, and production‑ready
    • Creating measurable business value through data and AI
    • Contributing to team growth, capability uplift, and continuous improvement

    Qualifications & experience

    • Relevant degree or diploma (IT, Computer Science, Data, AI, Engineering, Mathematics, or similar)
    • 4+ years’ experience delivering data solutions in professional or consulting environments
    • Cloud, data, or AI certifications
    • Willingness to travel and work on client sites when required
