Head of Data and BI
Head of Data & BI / York (3x per week) / £90k-£95k
We're hiring a Head of Data & BI to take full ownership of an established but evolving data function within a growing, commercially driven business.
This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure strategy position. You'll operate as a player-manager, leading a small team while remaining close to the tech, delivery, and stakeholders.
The environment is already strong, with a well-regarded Power BI estate, but now needs someone who can bring structure, prioritisation, and commercial impact.
What do we need from you?
- Strong Power BI expertise (core to the environment)
- Solid experience with Azure, SQL, and ideally Python
- Proven ability to lead small teams while staying hands-on
- Experience working closely with senior stakeholders
- Ability to prioritise workload and align data to business needs
Role overview
You'll take ownership of a split data platform, including a large Power BI estate and a partially outsourced data warehouse.
This role exists to bring:
- Clear ownership and direction
- Better stakeholder engagement and prioritisation
- Stronger focus on delivery and business outcomes
You'll also act as a Data Product Owner, ensuring the team is solving the right problems, not just responding to requests.
Key focus areas
- Own and evolve the end-to-end BI & data platform
- Lead a small team while remaining hands-on in delivery
- Drive data-led decision making across the business
- Improve stakeholder engagement and demand management
- Ensure reliable reporting, including business-critical financial data
- Support and shape a future Microsoft Fabric migration
- Balance BAU support with ongoing platform improvements
Why join?
- Full autonomy to shape the data function
- Broad role across BI, engineering, and product ownership
- Opportunity to drive real commercial value from data
- Work on high-impact, business-critical use cases
- A platform with strong foundations but huge scope to improve
If you're a hands-on data leader who enjoys owning problems, delivering solutions, and working closely with the business, apply now with a CV to Dominic Brown on
