• Data Architecture & Solution Design – You’ll support optimisation of our data architecture working closely with other data managers and our data architecture team to ensure we have a good understanding of emerging trends in data landscapes, technology solutions and consider them as part of our longer-term data strategy
• Team Leadership - You will manage several multi-disciplinary data delivery teams consisting of Data & Analytics Engineers and Test Engineers with Data Scientists and Data Visualisation specialists embedded as required. The data teams are expanding rapidly, and you will play a key role in recruitment across your teams and support the ongoing learning and development of your team members

What are the key skills/experience you’ll already have?

In order to succeed in the role we’re looking for someone who can display the following: -

• Data Warehousing – Snowflake (preferred), Google BigQuery, AWS Redshift or Azure Synapse
• Data pipeline – experience of data platforms, flat files, API’s and event-driven data feeds
• CI/CD & Automation - We rely heavily on Infrastructure as Code for cloud infrastructure deployment so any experience with technology such as Terraform would be beneficial in this respect
• Data Visualisation - Although we have dedicated data visualisation specialists within the team, any knowledge of, or experience with, data visualisation platforms such as Tableau (preferred), Power BI, Looker or Quicksight would be beneficial
