We are Lightfoot, a high-growth technology company based just outside Exeter that is focused on making a difference worldwide, one driver at a time.
We help businesses and private motorists improve performance and safety. Our technology has been proven to reduce fuel use and emissions rates by 10-20%, and at-fault accidents and wear and tear by 40-50%.
Our technology connects to your vehicle’s on-board computer and uses all the live data it produces to analyse how efficiently you are driving. It’s like how performance is analysed in Formula 1. Lightfoot turns that data into simple feedback for you – the driver – so you know when you’re pushing your vehicle too far and can bring it back to maximum efficiency.
We’re a fun-loving bunch who are growing at an astonishing rate. We’ve moved into a brand-new, state-of-the-art office near Exeter in the beautiful Southwest (which was voted Exeter’s ‘Best Workspace’). We are excited to keep growing the Lightfoot family with like-minded, passionate individuals who share our values;
We are seeking a data leader to help us grow our analytical capabilities here at Lightfoot. We are in a period of transition as we build our all-new Azure data lake. We use the vast amounts of data we capture from our industry leading in vehicle tech to deliver cutting-edge analytics, driving change across the businesses we serve. This role is responsible for the evolution of our data infrastructure and analytics as we build and develop our next generation of self-service data tools for our customers. You must be comfortable maintaining legacy systems (Excel, VBA & PowerPoint) whilst managing the transition to the new Azure platform. You will manage a small team of skilled analysts, enabling the business to maintain operational outputs whilst also providing coaching and mentorship to upskill the team. We are looking for a critical thinker who has experience in building and developing new analytical data structures, to extract the most insight from our data. We would expect you to have strong understanding and demonstratable experience using data modelling (dimensional modelling), warehousing, processing (Map Reduce) and transformation techniques. You must be an expert in SQL and at least one analytical programming language (R, Python or Julia) and be highly proficient in at least one BI tool (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik Sense). This is a very exciting role for someone who loves data and has a passion for making positive change. If this sounds at all like you then please send us your CV and we will be in contact.
