The Role

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys being close to the detail while shaping how a business uses data end-to-end.

You’ll sit at the centre of analytics, engineering, and business decision-making — helping a well-established, growing organisation scale its data capability as it looks to significantly grow over the next 5 years.

The role blends:

• analytics
• data engineering
• stakeholder engagement

...with a real emphasis on delivery, not just strategy.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading delivery of data and analytics solutions from requirements through to production
• Staying hands-on with data modelling, pipelines, and reporting where needed
• Driving the evolution of the data platform, including a move to Microsoft Fabric
• Building and maintaining robust, scalable data pipelines and models
• Delivering high-quality MI, dashboards, and insight to support business decisions
• Partnering with stakeholders across the business to translate requirements into data solutions
• Setting standards across data modelling, reporting, and engineering
• Improving data quality, governance, and trust in reporting

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience across analytics + data engineering (not purely one or the other)
• Hands-on capability with:
• SQL
• data modelling
• ETL / ELT pipelines
• Experience delivering BI / reporting solutions (Power BI or similar)
• Comfortable working with stakeholders and translating business needs into data solutions
• Experience working in a cloud-based data environment

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Microsoft Fabric
• Experience working with CRM / customer data
• Background in scaling data platforms or modernising data estates

Why This Role

• Genuine hands-on leadership role (not just strategy)
• Opportunity to shape a data function during a major transformation
• Direct impact on commercial and operational decision-making
• Small enough team to make a difference, big enough to have real scale
• Clear growth journey over the next 3–5 years

The Setup

• Based in York (modern office, 4 days per week)
• Collaborative, cross-functional environment
• Stable business with strong growth plans globally

Next Steps

If you’re someone who enjoys owning data end-to-end, from pipelines through to insight & wants to play a key role in scaling a data capability, this is worth a conversation.
