🚀 Data Platform Manager – Newcastle | Hybrid
I’m working with a large, established organisation in Newcastle that is investing significantly in its Data, AI and R&D capability and is looking for a Data Platform Manager to take technical ownership of its evolving data platform.
Despite the title, this isn’t a traditional people-management position. They need someone who can take ownership of the platform itself – providing technical direction, establishing how it should be structured and operated, and ensuring the right engineering, DevOps and delivery practices are in place as its use continues to grow.
The environment includes:
- Microsoft Fabric & Databricks
- Azure DevOps / CI/CD
- Power BI & semantic models
- Lakehouse architecture / Delta Lake
- Data pipelines, ingestion & orchestration
- Data Science, AI & GenAI use cases
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 work closely with Data Engineering, QA, Data Science and R&D, helping take ideas and models from experimentation through to secure, scalable production solutions. There’s a really interesting roadmap ahead. Current and future use cases range from delivering Power BI reporting and profitability models through to client intelligence, resource applications and the use of AI agents.
The challenge is making sure the underlying platform can support all of that. That means thinking beyond an individual pipeline or application and considering the wider picture: architecture, capacity, scalability, security, infrastructure, access controls, performance, cost and operational support.
We’re therefore looking for someone technically strong who understands areas such as:
- Modern data platform architecture
- Microsoft Fabric and/or Databricks
- Data pipelines, ingestion and orchestration
- Azure DevOps and CI/CD
- Data modelling and Lakehouse patterns
- Platform performance, scalability and capacity
- Security, RBAC and enterprise controls
- Productionising Data Science / ML / AI solutions
- Agile/Scrum delivery and good engineering processes
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't necessarily need to be the deepest specialist in every technology. What’s more important is having enough technical breadth to look across the platform, understand how the pieces fit together, identify what needs to change and provide clear technical direction. This could suit an experienced Data Platform Engineer, Lead Data Engineer, Data Platform Lead or Data Architect who wants broader ownership without moving away from the technology.
