At VWV, we're on an exciting journey to make better use of data across the firm, and we're looking for an experienced Data & BI Manager to join our Digital Delivery team and help us shape what comes next.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical expertise with people leadership, coaching and stakeholder engagement. You'll lead our Data Engineering and Business Intelligence capabilities, helping to develop our people, strengthen our ways of working and make sure data is being used effectively to support the wider business.
You'll be joining a friendly and collaborative team where you'll have plenty of opportunity to bring your own ideas, experience and expertise to the role.
About The Opportunity
As Data & BI Manager, you'll lead and develop our Data Engineering and Business Intelligence teams, including our Data and BI Leads. You'll provide direction and support to help the team deliver great work, while also helping each person develop their skills and progress their career.
You'll have an important role in shaping our data capability, developing standards and ways of working, and helping us continue to improve our approach to data governance, reporting and business intelligence.
You'll work closely with our Architecture and Delivery Managers, as well as colleagues across the wider business, to make sure our data solutions are practical, scalable and aligned with where we're heading as an organisation.
You'll also have the opportunity to work with senior stakeholders across the firm, helping them understand what's possible with data and ensuring the information we provide is useful, trusted and easy to understand.
Day to day, you'll:
- Lead, support and develop our Data Engineering and Business Intelligence teams, including coaching, mentoring, recruitment and career development.
- Help develop and maintain standards across data engineering, BI, reporting and data governance.
- Work closely with Architecture and Delivery colleagues to ensure our data solutions are well designed and fit for purpose.
- Oversee our data governance and maturity roadmap, helping us improve the quality and consistency of our data.
- Work with stakeholders to understand their reporting and data needs and identify opportunities to do things better.
- Provide technical oversight of data and BI delivery, ensuring solutions meet agreed standards and business requirements.
- Champion the value of data across the firm and help colleagues make better use of the information available to them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be joining us at an exciting time, with the opportunity to help shape how our data function develops in the future. We're looking for someone who can balance the demands of today with a clear view of where we want to be tomorrow.
About You
We're looking for an experienced data professional who enjoys leading people just as much as they enjoy working with technology.
You'll have experience leading or managing Data Engineering and/or Business Intelligence teams, with at least five years' experience working in data-focused delivery environments. You'll ideally have experience managing a team of more than five people, including a mix of engineers and analysts.
Your background might be stronger in Data Engineering or Business Intelligence – what's important is that you're comfortable working across both areas and bringing them together to create a strong, joined-up data capability.
We're particularly interested in people who have:
- Strong experience leading and developing data teams, with a genuine interest in coaching and supporting people to reach their potential.
- Good technical knowledge of Microsoft data technologies, particularly Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory.
- Experience developing data standards, governance and ways of working.
- The ability to make sound technical decisions while keeping things practical and achievable.
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and explaining technical concepts in a clear and straightforward way.
- A collaborative leadership style and the ability to build strong relationships across technical and non-technical teams.
Experience within a professional services environment would be helpful, but it's not essential.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together, developing others and making a real difference. You'll be comfortable giving people direction without micromanaging, while creating an environment where the team can do their best work.
