Moreover, you will enable, empower, and support the Data Service team with the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of advanced data solutions.

A key aspect of this role is to ensure the Data Service Team leads and supports the business with strong Data Governance, Data Quality, and Data Management while ensuring the business meets its regulatory requirements. This role is strategic and management-focused; however, you will have come from a hands-on technical background before progressing into a leadership and management role of a Data Engineering / MI / BI team.

Key Accountabilities:

  • Technical Leadership - Provide strategic and technical leadership for a high-performing data engineering and BI function.
  • Delivery of Solutions - Support, enable, and empower the data team to design and implement relevant data, analytic, and reporting solutions.
  • Data Governance and Quality - Oversight of data governance and management.
  • Standards and Best Practice - Evolve and maintain appropriate standards and practices.
  • Resource and Project Management - Manage resources and projects.
  • Team Development - Mentor, coach, and support the team.
  • Agile Delivery - Drive continuous improvement through Agile.
  • Strategic Support - Assist the Head of Digital and Data Engineering with delivering the data strategy.
  • Technical Design Authority - Influence and advise on critical architectural and technology decisions.

Experience Required:

  • Leadership and People:
  • Proven track record leading and developing high-performing Data Engineering and BI teams.
  • Experience working with and influencing C-suite executives and stakeholders.
  • Resource planning.
  • Commercially astute and financially aware.
  • Extensive experience in data governance (policies, standards, best practice, etc).
  • Technology:
  • Deep knowledge of MS Data Platform technologies.
  • On-prem and Azure knowledge.
  • A good understanding of all things data - data integration, warehousing, advanced analytics, etc.
  • Strong knowledge of dimensional modelling techniques.
  • Familiarity with data engineering tools and automation practices (CI/CD pipelines, DevOps, etc).

This is an excellent role for a proven Senior Data Services Manager who has strong leadership experience, strategic experience, and wants to work closely with a Head of Data Engineering and Digital. Although the role is not technically hands-on, you must have come from a hands-on technical background before moving into a management-focused Data role. Financial Service experience is also mandatory.

If you have the skills and experience for this role, please send your CV for a full brief. The role is home-based and comes with a competitive salary plus car allowance and bonus. Interviews to be held soon.
