Data Pipeline & Systems Manager (Digital Marketing)

Data Pipeline & Systems Manager (Digital Marketing)

Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 

Employment Type: Full time 

Location: Camden (London), 2 days a week in the office

This is a fantastic opportunity for a data-minded professional who wants to own the infrastructure behind a growing marketing agency's client reporting - working with a tight-knit team and incredible purpose-led organisations.

Who are we?

ethix is a 10-person digital marketing agency based in Camden. We think digital marketing is best when it's connected with a purpose, so we only work with purpose-led organisations. These are typically charities, impact organisations, sustainable brands, or arts & cultural institutions. Whatever the cause, we help clients do good, better.

What does being a Data Pipeline & Systems Manager at ethix look like?

You'll own the agency's data pipeline end to end: pulling data from ad platforms and other sources via Adverity, transforming it, and delivering it into client-facing dashboards in Data Studio. Alongside this, you'll own ethix OS - our internal system of tools, Claude skills, and workflows that the wider team relies on day to day. It suits someone who's methodical, comfortable diagnosing why a number looks wrong, and happy owning a system end-to-end rather than just executing tickets.

Who are you?

Essential skills & experience:

• 2+ years' experience working hands on with SQL and a BI tool (e.g. Data Studio, Tableau, Power BI) in a data, analytics, or marketing operations role
• Experience with a data integration/ETL tool (Adverity experience ideal, but Supermetrics, Funnel, or Fivetran experience is transferable)
• Experience building and maintaining dashboards in Data Studio (or a similar BI tool)
• Confident with data analysis & handling large data sets
• A methodical, problem-solving mindset - comfortable tracing an issue back through several layers of a pipeline
• Clear communicator, able to explain technical issues to non-technical colleagues and clients
• Comfortable owning and maintaining internal systems or tools, not just building them once and moving on

Bonus skills & experience:

• Experience with Python for data transformations
• Experience with Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, or similar for lightweight pipeline automation
• Comfortable with git/GitHub for version control
• Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) and an interest in AI-architecting - building and maintaining AI skills, workflows, and internal tooling
• Interest or experience in the charity/social enterprise/non-profit sector

The ideal candidate is:

• Someone who's kind, proactive and willing to get stuck in
• Methodical, detail-orientated and an excellent problem-solver
• Comfortable working independently as the owner of a system that others depend on
• A clear communicator, able to translate technical detail for a non-technical audience
• Someone who enjoys collaboration and is always looking for new ways to challenge themselves and grow
• Bonus: you have a passion for social / environmental impact

What's in it for you?

• You'll work with a tight-knit & supportive team with significant growth opportunities (you'll get to work closely with the founders of the agency)
• The chance to use your skills for good by working with purpose-led organisations & charities
• 50% wellness subscription subsidy (e.g. gym, mindfulness app) up to £30 a month
• 25 days holiday + 5 volunteering days per year
• An extra day of holiday for each year you've been at the company (up to 35)
• Monthly team socials (e.g. ping pong, theatre, murder mystery)
• Option of an unpaid sabbatical after 2 & 4 years at the company (1 month off after 2 years, 3 months off after 4 years)
• Up to £250 per year in training budgets for every employee
• We donate 5% of profits to charity
