Role: Data Lead (GCP)
Location: City of London Salary: £95,000 Flexible working: 3 days a week in the office
We’re looking for an experienced GCP Platform / Data Engineering Lead to take ownership of a newly implemented Google Cloud data platform and play a key role in its transition into BAU. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working across cloud technology, data platforms, third parties and stakeholders, rather than sitting purely within a strategic architecture function.
The Role
- Take technical ownership of a new GCP data platform, overseeing its transition from implementation into a stable BAU environment.
- Work closely with managed service providers, developers, application and infrastructure teams to manage deployments, technical change, best practice and platform stability.
- Provide technical oversight across a number of major transformation programmes, including Salesforce, Claims, Reinsurance and legacy platform modernisation, ensuring new data is successfully ingested into the GCP platform.
- Coach and mentor team members developing their GCP capability, while providing task and matrix leadership across internal teams and third parties.
- Act as a technical point of contact for senior stakeholders, with the ability to explain complex cloud and data concepts clearly without unnecessary technical detail.
