Data Engineering Manager
West London | Hybrid, 3 days per week onsite
Up to £90,000 + up to 40% bonus
We’re working with a large, established organisation that is investing heavily in the modernisation of its data platform and is looking for a Data Engineering Manager to help lead the next stage of that journey. This is a hands-on management role where you’ll take responsibility for the delivery and development of the data engineering function, including the management of a small offshore engineering team. You’ll provide technical direction, ensure projects are delivered effectively and work closely with stakeholders across Data, Analytics and the wider business. While there is a strong people and delivery management element to the position, you’ll still need to be technically credible and comfortable getting hands-on when required.
