Instead, you’ll act as a technical authority and trusted partner to the business, ensuring data solutions are well-designed, robust, and genuinely support decision-making at scale.Why This Role Stands Out

• A senior, influence-led role with no direct line management
• High exposure to leadership across technology and business functions
• Ownership of delivery quality across partners, vendors, and internal teams
• Balance of technical credibility and business-facing engagement
• Opportunity to shape and mature a modern, cloud-based data ecosystem
• Meaningful involvement in ongoing data and analytics transformation

What You’ll Be Doing

• Act as a technical design authority across enterprise data and analytics solutions
• Oversee and challenge delivery from external partners and consultancies
• Translate business requirements into well-structured analytical and reporting solutions

  • Data models and analytical layers
  • Data pipelines and transformation processes
  • Reporting and insight delivery
• Promote best practices in data architecture, governance, and development standards
• Bridge the gap between technical teams and senior business stakeholders
• Support and evolve cloud-native data platforms and warehouse / lakehouse approaches
• Contribute to strategic initiatives focused on improving data-driven decision-making

Team & Environment

• Reporting into a senior data leader
• Lean internal data function supported by external delivery partners
• Collaborative, outcome-focused culture
• Environment where technical judgement and stakeholder influence matter more than hierarchy

What They’re Looking For Core Experience

• Strong background in modern, cloud-based data and analytics environments
• Experience designing or overseeing enterprise data platforms and analytical solutions
• Good understanding of contemporary data architectures (e.g. warehouse, lakehouse, layered models)
• Comfortable working alongside and challenging third-party delivery teams
• Proven ability to operate as a senior technical voice without direct management responsibility
• Confident communicator, able to engage credibly with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders

Profile Fit

• A technically credible data professional who enjoys being close to delivery
• Comfortable balancing governance, design, and pragmatic execution
• Able to influence outcomes through expertise rather than authority
• Thrives in complex, highly visible environments

Nice to Have

• Exposure to regulated or data-intensive industries (e.g. financial services, insurance, telecoms)
• Experience supporting enterprise-scale reporting and analytics platforms
