Today, we are diversified across 12 countries, holding leading market positions in many markets across the countries we operate in. We are one of the largest transport services organisations in Europe, employing c.39,000 employees and delivering more than 1.2 billion passenger journeys every year.
Arriva have embarked on a transformational change program to modernise our BI, Analytics and Data platforms. We’re migrating from legacy on-premises solutions to cloud-native platforms and services.

You’ll be working across the entire BI lifecycle – ingestion, transformation & integration, data modeling, visualisation/reporting on a cloud-native platform.
The team supports both the Legacy and cloud platforms. The current legacy platform(s) are supported and managed following ITIL processes, but we already have plans to
explore DevOps and agile ways of working during 2023 for the cloud-native platform.

About you
