Job description

A large, complex organisation operating in a highly regulated environment is seeking a senior-level data and analytics professional to play a pivotal role in the evolution of its enterprise data capability.

• 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

Qualifications

• 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

Required Skills

• 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 environment

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to regulated or data‑intensive industries (e.g. financial services, insurance, telecoms)
