Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at Vestd 

At Vestd, we prioritise equality, diversity, and inclusion, so we write about it here rather than at the end of the job advertisement. We’re committed to building a respectful, inclusive, and diverse team. Trust is one of our core values; with that comes a commitment to fairness and transparency. We want to be open about our EDI efforts.

Research shows that while men are likely to apply when they meet 60% of a job’s requirements, women and individuals from underrepresented groups often apply only when they meet every criterion. 

We understand the value of transferable skills and the unique perspectives that diversity brings. That’s why we encourage applications from candidates with unique strengths and experiences.

If you need any adjustments or support with your application, please let us know in your application or throughout the process.

The role

We are looking for individuals who are not only passionate about our mission but also comfortable and confident using cutting-edge technologies and AI tools to streamline processes, drive innovation, and contribute to the growth of Vestd.

As our Data Lead, you will shape the strategic direction of our data function and bring best-practice expertise across Power BI, data warehousing, and modern reporting. You’ll operate as an experienced data generalist, someone who can guide, architect, build, and deliver end-to-end data solutions while working hands-on and independently.

The primary responsibilities of this role

We cannot provide an exhaustive list of duties; additional duties will arise, but the following will be core elements of this role:

• Lead data projects from scoping to delivery, ensuring clear direction, prioritisation, and timely execution
• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand analytical needs and translate them into high-impact data products
• Create robust Power BI reports, dashboards, and data models that deliver actionable insights across the business
• Build, maintain, and optimise end-to-end data pipelines and systems that collect, combine, process, and deliver data
• Own and drive best practice across data architecture, modelling, governance, and documentation
• Act as the internal subject-matter expert for Power BI and data warehousing, providing guidance to the wider organisation
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve data quality, data accessibility, and data-driven decision-making 

Essential elements for this role

These are the skills and qualifications we consider important for this role: 

• 8–10 years of professional experience working across data analytics, BI, engineering, or similar hybrid roles
• Strong, hands-on experience with Power BI (data modelling, DAX, visualisation best practice)
• Experience designing and maintaining data warehouse structures and ETL/ELT pipelines
• Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into scalable data solutions
• Comfortable working independently and providing technical leadership where needed
• Experience setting standards and promoting best practice across data processes
• Impeccable attention to detail and a high degree of accuracy

• An ability to communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing
• You must be comfortable with working in a fully remote environment

Nice to have

These will help you stand out from the pack:

• Experience working as a data generalist in a startup or scaleup
• Familiarity with modern cloud data tools (Amazon Redshift, Azure, SQL-based warehouses, or similar)
• Knowledge of shares, equity, or financial data models
• Experience working in a distributed or remote team
• Exposure to AI-powered data tooling and automation

• Startup/scaleup experience
• Knowledge of shares and share schemes
• Experience working in a remote-first team

Culture fit

What makes Vestd folk collaborative, adaptable, and eager to grow?

• Thrives in a startup environment, ready to tackle diverse challenges with enthusiasm
• Adaptable - open to taking on responsibilities beyond the defined role as needed
• Passionate about contributing to a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Embraces technology to improve processes and drive efficiency

While the above describes the core responsibilities, this role may from time to time involve tasks beyond this list — as needed to respond to evolving business needs.
