Are you ready to lead a growing data team and shape the future of data-driven decision making in the insurance industry

We’re looking for a Data Team Lead to join a UK-based insurance organisation and take ownership of the data ecosystem, supporting a robust reporting and analytics layer.

You’ll be based in London, working closely with a team of 6 developers based in India, providing leadership, direction, and hands-on support.

This is a leadership-first role (approx. 80% team management, 20% hands-on), guiding technical teams while staying close to the tech.

What you’ll do:

• Lead and manage a remote development team, ensuring delivery of high-quality data solutions
• Maintain and enhance the client’s data ecosystem and reporting infrastructure
• Oversee backlog management, planning, and delivery tracking
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring across the team
• Support the existing Azure-based data platform, including Data Factory, Power BI, and Google Form integration
• Work with stakeholders to ensure business needs are translated into actionable data solutions
• Strong background in Insurance and data platforms
• Proven experience with Azure, Power BI, and Data Factory
• Comfortable leading distributed teams, especially offshore development teams
• Strong communicator and strategic thinker who thrives in a hybrid, collaborative environment
• Some hands-on experience – while most of your time will be spent leading, you’ll still get involved technically when needed
• Make a real impact in a business where data is at the heart of decision making
• Hybrid working (London office base)
• A chance to grow your leadership career while staying close to the technology
