About our IT Team
Our Global IT department has grown rapidly from 15 to 50 people in just three years — and we’re not done yet. We are a truly international team spread across six countries, working as one global unit. We operate in Scrum, think in products, and act as a valued business partner. IT at Stage Entertainment is not a back-office function: we sit at the table where strategic decisions are made. The Intelligence Center is where data becomes insight. This team builds and maintains the data infrastructure, pipelines, and reporting that enable data-driven decision-making across the business — from ticket sales forecasting to marketing performance and financial reporting.

What you’ll do
- Design and develop data models aligned with business requirements.
- Build and maintain data pipelines to move data from various sources into BigQuery using Fivetran.
- Develop ETL processes to cleanse, transform, and prepare data for analysis and reporting.
- Manage and optimize the BigQuery data warehouse for performance and efficiency.
- Implement data governance policies and security measures.
- Continuously monitor data pipelines and storage systems; optimize for quality and speed.
- Collaborate with reporting specialists, analysts, and business stakeholders
