Job description

Do you enjoy solving complex data challenges, leading meaningful projects, and helping people turn ideas into impact? Are you comfortable connecting big-picture strategy into managing details, timelines, and teams? If so, you might be our next Engagement Manager!

At InterWorks, we help clients make sense of data, AI, and analytics. As an Engagement Manager, you’ll combine your technical expertise with strong project leadership to guide clients through data transformation. You’ll connect strategy to execution, ideas to outcomes, and people to possibilities.

This role is equal parts architect, advisor, and project manager. You’ll help shape solutions, oversee delivery, and ensure that every project we take on reflects the best of InterWorks with clarity, collaboration, and craft.

Location Preferences: We’d love for you to join us from one of our office in Christchurch, UK. Remote work may be possible depending on the situation — let’s chat.

• Serve as the main point of contact for clients, managing expectations, communication, and long-term relationships.
• Translate strategy into delivery plans, scoping, scheduling, and coordinating across teams to bring solutions to life.
• Provide project management oversight to ensure timelines, budgets, and quality stay on track.
• Act as a subject matter expert within projects for your area of focus (BI, data engineering, cloud, or governance).
• Conceptualize, design, and deliver scalable analytics solutions using modern data tools and platforms.
• Mentor consultants and engineers, guiding both project work and professional growth.
• Support change management and help clients adopt new technologies, processes, and mindsets.
• Collaborate with leadership on proposals and pre-sales, shaping scopes of work and delivery approaches.

What You’ll Need

• Five or more years of experience delivering analytics or data solutions in a consulting or enterprise environment.
• Proven ability to lead complex projects with multiple stakeholders and dependencies.
• Strong project management skills - PMP, Agile, or similar certification is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with analytics and database tools such as Tableau, Power BI, ThoughtSpot, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks.
• Familiarity with data orchestration and transformation tools (dbt, Matillion, Fivetran, Alteryx, or Python).
• Comfortability with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, from executive briefings to technical discussions.
• A track record of bringing clarity to complexity and driving projects to completion.
• A collaborative mindset building strong partnerships across teams and with clients.

What We’d Like You to Have

• Experience leading data modernization or governance initiatives.
• A background in analytics platform design or embedded analytics.
• Change management or organizational transformation experience.
