The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of integration platforms, data architecture and cloud technologies, combined with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills to influence effectively across diverse business units.
This role is critical in harmonising technology across acquired entities, ensuring seamless integration, robust data architecture and alignment with our vision for connected automotive dealer platforms.

- Extensive experience improving and optimising ETL processes, presumably using IPaaS tooling
