Job Requirements

Purpose of Role

As Data Manager you are the nerve‑centre of BizClik’s data operations: every record that leaves a silo and lands in BigQuery travels a path you design, monitor, and improve.

Reporting to the Director of Technology and leading a two‑person data team, you architect resilient ELT pipelines in GCP Dataflow, design warehouse schemas that reflect how the business operates, and document not just the fields but the full context – what the data represents, who uses it and how it connects to real‑world activity – so when questions land you already know the answers.

Your remit spans governance, access controls, retention rules, GDPR‑safe handling and the technical operations needed to keep data flowing and reliable, from pipeline monitoring to resolving issues when things break.

You’re hands‑on: writing SQL, tuning Dataflow jobs, tracking anomalies. You’re also strategic – prioritising the backlog, coaching the team, and road‑mapping the next integration, schema upgrade, governance control to keep pace with growth.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and maintain ELT pipelines: Develop robust ELT pipelines in GCP Dataflow and BigQuery to ensure seamless data flow from Salesforce, Piano.io, Apollo and other sources.
• Architect data warehouse schemas: Create and optimise warehouse schemas that align with business operations, enabling efficient data retrieval and analysis.
• Comprehend and document data context: Delve into the meaning behind each data point, understanding its origin, purpose and how it serves various business functions. Document this context to facilitate clarity and informed decision‑making across teams.
• Understand and manage audience data: Gain a deep understanding of audience data, including demographics, behaviours and engagement patterns to ensure data strategies effectively support audience targeting and personalisation efforts.
• Implement and enforce data governance: Establish and uphold data governance policies, including access controls, retention schedules and compliance with regulations like GDPR, ensuring data integrity and security.
• Monitor and troubleshoot data systems: Continuously oversee data pipelines and systems, promptly addressing anomalies and issues to maintain data accuracy and availability.
• Lead and mentor the data team: Manage a two‑person data team, providing guidance, setting technical direction and fostering professional growth.
• Collaborate with business units: Engage with campaign and sales teams to understand their data needs, ensuring that data solutions are tailored to support their objectives effectively.
• Plan and execute data initiatives: Develop and implement plans for integrating new data sources, refining schemas, and enhancing data governance frameworks to support business growth.

About You

• Hands‑on data engineer: You have a strong background in building and maintaining ELT pipelines, particularly within GCP environments, ensuring data flows are efficient and reliable.
• Data context expert: Beyond technical structures, you understand the stories the data tells – its origins, implications and relevance to different business units.
• Audience insight: You grasp the intricacies of audience data, recognising patterns and behaviours that inform strategic decisions across campaigns and sales initiatives.
• Governance advocate: You implement and uphold data governance policies, ensuring data integrity, security and compliance with regulations like GDPR.
• Team leader: You lead by example, guiding your team with clear direction, fostering growth and encouraging a culture of excellence.
• Collaborative communicator: You work seamlessly with various departments, translating complex data concepts into actionable insights that drive business success.
• Strategic planner: You’re forward‑thinking, always planning the next steps in data integration, schema evolution and governance enhancements to support organisational growth.
