We're entering an exciting phase in the evolution of our data capabilities and are looking for a Head of Data to take ownership of our data strategy, technology direction and team development.

This is a senior leadership role with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the business.

We need someone who understands how to build a successful data function, can engage confidently with senior leadership and knows how to translate data investment into tangible commercial outcomes.

Your Remit

You’ll be responsible for establishing a clear vision for data and ensuring the right people, platforms and processes are in place to deliver it.

  • Defining and executing our enterprise data strategy and roadmap.
  • Leading and developing teams across data engineering, analytics and associated capabilities.
  • Driving improvements to our data platforms, architecture and overall technical maturity.
  • Establishing effective data governance, quality and management practices.
  • Working directly with executives to identify opportunities where data can improve business performance.

We're looking for a leader who can demonstrate:

  • A strong track record leading data teams and delivering enterprise-wide initiatives.
  • Experience building or transforming data capabilities within complex organisations.
  • A sound technical foundation across modern data engineering, architecture and analytics.
  • The ability to establish strategy while remaining close enough to delivery to challenge and guide technical decisions.
  • Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to engage at executive level.
  • Experience managing competing priorities, budgets and stakeholder expectations.
  • A pragmatic leadership style focused on outcomes rather than complexity.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to shape the future of data within our organisation, influence investment decisions and build a function that has a direct impact on business performance.

We're looking for someone who brings fresh thinking, strong leadership and the ability to turn strategy into execution.

If you're ready to take ownership of a data function and drive meaningful change, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
