Technical Lead - Snowflake, dbt

Job description

Contract Opportunity – Snowflake Technical Lead | Outside IR35 | Hybrid London

A leading Data Consultancy is supporting a large enterprise insurance organisation delivering a major cloud data platform programme and we’re looking to bring in an experienced Snowflake Technical Lead to take ownership of a key delivery workstream.

This is a genuinely hands-on leadership role - ideal for someone who enjoys building solutions rather than sitting purely in architecture or governance discussions.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for leading the technical delivery of a standalone data pipeline within Snowflake, working as part of a wider transformation programme modernising core data capabilities.

Responsibilities will include:

• Designing and building Snowflake data pipelines end-to-end
• Implementing transformation logic using dbt
• Applying validation rules and data quality controls
• Designing logging, monitoring and failure handling approaches
• Supporting deployment and CI/CD across environments
• Working closely with delivery leads and stakeholders to drive progress

You’ll have autonomy to shape implementation decisions while remaining accountable for delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Snowflake engineering experience
• Solid dbt and advanced SQL skills
• Experience delivering production data pipelines
• Comfortable operating as a technical lead while staying hands-on
• Able to work independently within a fast-moving programme
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Experience within insurance or regulated environments is beneficial but not essential.
