A career at Booksy means you’re part of a global team focused on helping people around the world feel great about themselves, every day. From empowering entrepreneurs to build successful businesses, to supporting their customers arrange 'me time' moments, we’re in the business of helping people thrive and feel fantastic.

Working in an ever-changing, scale-up where things are messy, and resources are limited isn't for everyone. If you thrive in a stable environment with big budgets, clear processes and structures then, if being honest, we’re probably not for you. However, if you love bringing order to chaos, inventively solving problems, and prioritizing your own path within ambiguity, then you're likely to love it here.

Requirements

As a Lead Data Architect (Governance) reporting to the Director of Analytics in our Data & Analytics team, your purpose will be to help shape the architecture that transforms raw, disparate data into a pristine, consistent, and high-performance analytical ecosystem. You’ll be the go-to expert designing the structures, standards, and systems that underpin Booksy’s data strategy—ensuring trust, coherence, and clarity from ingestion through insight.

You won’t just write governance policies—you’ll build the intelligent frameworks that make governance seamless, scalable, and business-critical. Your work will empower teams across Booksy to access the right data, in the right way, at the right time.

Essentially, to ensure you succeed in this role you’re going to need…

  • Deep, hands-on experience designing and building data warehouses with strong command of dimensional modeling (e.g., Kimball methodology)
  • Expertise in Google Cloud Platform, especially BigQuery architecture, optimization, and cost management
  • Advanced SQL skills and production-level experience using dbt (or similar tools) to build modular, testable transformation pipelines
  • Practical mastery of LookML and semantic layer design within Looker, including Explores, joins, derived tables, and scalability best practices

It will also help you to have…

  • Experience establishing and enforcing data governance standards through technical architecture (not just documentation)
  • Familiarity with data cataloging, metadata management, and observability tools
  • A systems-thinking mindset—you understand the full data lifecycle and how to maintain integrity from source to dashboard

At Booksy, we believe in the power of well-structured data to drive brilliant decision-making and empower our teams. We’re collaborative, human, and serious about building an inclusive culture where your voice—and your data architecture—can make a real impact.

Join us in building the single source of truth that powers Booksy’s data-led future.

At a minimum, we require conversational level English language skills. Why? English is our company language and is used for any business-wide communications, so we need you to be able to speak English to feel like an integrated part of Booksy.
