We're looking for multiple Data Engineering Managers to lead data product teams responsible for delivering business-critical data solutions across a complex and evolving organization. Several opportunities are available across different business domains, including financial systems, colleague experience, and customer-focused products.
The Role
As a Data Engineering Manager, you'll provide technical leadership and people management for a product-aligned data engineering team. Working alongside a dedicated Product Manager, you'll be responsible for turning business priorities into tangible outcomes, ensuring your team delivers high-quality data products that support decision-making and operational performance. You'll balance technical direction, delivery leadership, and stakeholder engagement while creating an environment where engineers can thrive.
Data Engineering Manager, Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a high-performing data engineering team.
- Translate business and product requirements into deliverable technical solutions.
- Drive the successful delivery of data products from roadmap through to implementation.
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers and senior stakeholders across the business.
- Ensure solutions deliver measurable business value and support organizational goals.
- Guide engineering standards, technical direction, and team capability development.
- Support planning, estimation, prioritization, and delivery activities.
- Foster a culture focused on outcomes, continuous improvement, and collaboration.
- Engage with senior business leaders and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences.

Success in This Role
You'll be someone who is motivated by outcomes rather than outputs.

Why Apply?
- Lead strategically important data product initiatives.
- Work with modern data technologies and product-led delivery teams.
- Influence senior business stakeholders and help shape future direction.
- Join an environment that values ambition, ownership, and measurable impact.
