Finatal is exclusively partnering with a PE Fund as they continue to invest heavily in the data capabilities of their portfolio companies. Sitting within the Value Creation team, this role offers the opportunity to combine technical leadership with hands-on delivery across a portfolio of PE-backed businesses. Working directly with CEOs, CFOs, and CTOs, you will help shape data strategies, define target-state architectures, and support the delivery of modern data platforms that enable reporting, forecasting, advanced analytics, data science, AI, and wider business growth.
The role is suited to someone from a Data Engineering, Data Platform or Architecture background who enjoys remaining close to technology whilst having greater influence over business and technology decisions.

You'll also support teams across data warehousing, orchestration, CI/CD, governance, and platform modernisation initiatives, helping establish the foundations required for analytics, data science, and AI use cases across a range of PE-backed businesses.
