Data Engineering Manager

Data Engineering Manager

Location: Remote, UK

Are you an experienced Lead Data Engineer / Data Team Leader, or Data Engineering Manager ready to take the next step in your career?

You do not need to have held a senior management title to be considered. If you have led or mentored engineers, stayed hands-on with modern Azure data technologies, and helped take a data platform through meaningful transformation, this could be your opportunity to step into a broader leadership role.

You will join an organisation as it moves from a fragmented data landscape to a scalable, integrated enterprise data platform.

International scope, supporting users and services across APAC, EMEA and the Americas

Exposure to senior stakeholders across technology, architecture, product and the wider business

The opportunity to apply your expertise within an organisation whose work has a meaningful global impact

What will you be doing?

You will help lead the journey from legacy and fragmented data services to a modern, integrated Microsoft data platform.

Working across strategy, architecture and hands-on delivery, you will:

Help define and deliver the data platform roadmap

Design and deliver solutions using Azure Data Lake, Databricks, SQL and Python

Lead the transformation and migration of existing systems and data services

Translate the wider programme into practical workstreams covering migration, integration, governance, analytics and legacy retirement

Design scalable data platforms and contribu...
