What does a Big Data or Data Warehouse Specialist do in IT?
Big Data and Data Warehouse Specialists are experts in transforming complex, large scale data into information that the business can use. They understand the complex relationships between data systems and business processes to extract timely and relevant facts about business performance, and play a pivotal role working with other data professionals.
They mostly work with:
Database Administrators and Data Engineers, who manage the underlying data infrastructure and architecture, to ensure that design and performance is optimal
Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and Insights Analysts, who often rely on their expertise to extract and understand the data.
The discipline generally splits into two related specialisations. Big Data Specialists analyse and systematically extract information from data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software, in a highly analytical and process-driven role. Data Warehouse Specialists work with systems used for reporting and data analysis, considered a core component of business intelligence, often building and maintaining a central repository of integrated data from one or more disparate sources.
What’s it like to work in this discipline?
Big Data and Data Warehouse Specialists are at the forefront of technology innovation in their organisations. They work with a high level of autonomy across teams to implement the latest tools and frameworks for extracting, transforming, and analysing data.
Big Data and Data Warehouse Specialists provide a critical technical role, while getting exposure to fast-moving projects that are often critical to growth and business transformation. These roles will bring you into contact with a diverse cross-section of professionals and build capability in the latest data technologies.
What qualifications or experience does this role benefit from?

- Engineering
- Computer science
