Monks is seeking an experienced client-facing Data Engineer (Marketing & BI) to drive data and analytics delivery across marketing, audience, and e-commerce engagements for both small and large enterprise clients. 

This is a hands-on role that blends business and data responsibilities. Your time will be split approximately 70% on client delivery and 30% internal (capability building, reusable assets, innovation, growth, etc). You’ll be focused on SQL-based data modelling and analytics delivery, and you’ll run client workshops and stakeholder management, while also building out solutions in the broader BI space, executing technical implementations across a range of analytics and cloud data platforms.

The ideal candidate has a history of working with modern data products (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift), and a proven track record of experience with the modern data stack based on cloud technologies, including data transformation, orchestration, warehousing and modelling, as well as BI and dashboard design using tools like Looker Studio, Power BI or Tableau.

Why Monks?

In this role, you’ll help clients shape data pathways, translate data into insights and needs-based recommendations, deploy and configure the right tools, and improve data reliability, speed to insight, and KPI consistency. Working in the broader Data capability at Monks, this position offers opportunities for growth within our wider APAC data team with clear channels of progression into more senior roles, the ability to participate in innovation on projects and product development, and the potential to advance the practice of analytics and data from the forefront.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead requirements discovery and translate business questions into data/measurement solutions.
• Design data models (dimensional/star schemas) to support scalable reporting and self-serve analytics.
• Design and model data across various cloud data warehouses (BigQuery/Snowflake/Databricks/Redshift) from marketing, web/app, and e-commerce sources; exact platform varies by client.
• Articulate, design and develop BI dashboards and custom reporting experiences using tools such as Looker Studio, Power BI and Tableau.
• Establish data quality, monitoring, documentation, and governance practices.
• Partner with analytics/measurement teams on tracking approaches (GA4/GTM) to ensure usable downstream data.
• Present insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders; influence roadmaps, estimation and prioritisation.
• Contribute reusable assets (templates, data patterns, dashboard standards) to the wider Monks APAC data capability.
  
  

Requirements

• A minimum of 2+ years experience in data engineering / analytics engineering / BI engineering.
• At least 1 year experience in client-facing delivery, consultancy or agency 
• Expert SQL skills, primarily in an ETL/ELT context; we are BigQuery first, but some Python is also favoured.
• Strong dimensional modeling (star schemas), warehouse design, and metric/KPI definition for analytics use cases.
• Experience with BigQuery and at least one other cloud data platform (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, etc).
• Experience building BI dashboards (Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau).
• Hands-on experience with mainstream analytics platforms and data collection approaches, including Google Marketing Platform tooling (GTM, GA4, etc) preferred
• Experience with transformation and orchestration tools including dbt, Airflow, Dagster or Prefect.
• Familiarity with broader enterprise BI platforms such as Looker (LookML/custom visualisations) or Datorama.
• An understanding of the adtech/martech/data landscape; CRM & CDP familiarity is a strong plus.

The role 👤

Join our data team and help us make sense of the chaos (in the best way possible).

We're looking for two Data Analysts who can turn messy data into clear stories, spot patterns before they become problems, and communicate insights without putting stakeholders to sleep.

You'll work with our existing team of junior-to-mid analysts, bringing 3-5 years of battle-tested experience. You've seen enough dashboards to know when a metric is lying, written enough SQL to do it in your sleep, and presented enough findings to know that executives don't want 47 slides.

This isn't a "pull reports and call it a day" role. You'll be:

• Digging into our product data to understand what's actually happening vs. what we think is happening.
• Building analyses that change minds (and roadmaps).
• Partnering with product, marketing, and ops teams who depend on you to cut through the noise.
• Mentoring our junior analysts when they're stuck (or when you need a rubber duck).

You should apply if... ↪️

You have:

• 3-5 years as a Data Analyst or similar role - titles vary, skills matter more.
• Strong SQL skills - you can write complex queries without Stack Overflow open in another tab (most of the time). We use PostgreSQL and BigQuery.
• Statistical foundation - you understand hypothesis testing, can run and interpret A/B tests, know when correlation doesn't imply causation, and can explain confidence intervals to non-technical stakeholders.
• Analytics tool proficiency - Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar. We use Metabase, but if you're strong in one, you can learn another.
• Python or R experience - not necessarily expert level, but comfortable enough to wrangle data, run statistical tests, or build a quick model when SQL isn't enough.
• Spreadsheet wizardry - yes, Excel/Google Sheets still matter. You know when to use a pivot table vs. when to reach for SQL.
• Business intuition - you ask "why does this matter?" before diving into analysis, and can define success metrics and measurement plans before feature/project launches
• Communication skills - you can explain technical findings to non-technical humans without the jargon fog, and you can partner with engineers to ensure events/data are tracked in ways that support analysis and experimentation.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with our specific stack: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Metabase, DBT.
• A/B testing or experimentation background.
• Experience in Finance, Product.
• Having actually used AI tools effectively.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Like figuring out WHY something happened, not just WHAT happened.
• Get energised by "here's a weird pattern, let me investigate" moments.
• Can handle ambiguity (our data is real-world messy, not Kaggle clean).
• Want to influence decisions, not just inform them.
• Believe good analysis is 30% technical skills, 70% asking the right questions.
• Think of AI as a copilot, not an autopilot.

This probably isn't for you if:

• You just want to build dashboards and never talk to humans.
• Ambiguous questions stress you out instead of exciting you.
• You need every requirement spelled out in perfect detail.
• You think "the data says X" without questioning if the data might be wrong.
