Job Description

NewGlobe has built its foundation on being data-driven, using a build-measure-learn methodology to refine every aspect of our service delivery. As a rapidly scaling business, we have an exceptional opportunity to harness the power of data across all facets of our operations.

However, we’ve reached a turning point where we need to elevate our data capabilities. We’re moving beyond simply providing data to our departments and looking to implement more advanced techniques to unlock the full potential of our vast data sets.

To realize this potential, we need to ensure our results are thoroughly tested and reliable.

  • Help design, implement, and use monitoring tools to detect and resolve issues, ensuring seamless data integration into data warehouses.
  • Contribute to effective data governance, focusing on data quality, management, policies, business process management, and risk management around business data.
