Description
As our Data Product Manager for the Enterprise Data Platform, you'll own the foundations that enable every data product, insight and partnership across Virgin Red. You'll shape the strategy, roadmap and future of a platform that's secure, scalable and built for reuse, while working hand in hand with engineers to solve complex technical challenges that have a real business impact.
What you’ll be getting stuck into
- Own the vision, roadmap and priorities for Virgin Red's enterprise data platform, making sure it continues to meet the needs of the business today and tomorrow.
- Work closely with engineers, architects and security teams to build scalable, reliable and cost-effective data platform capabilities.
- Lead the development of data sharing, data exchange and marketplace capabilities that enable teams and partners to access data in smarter ways.
- Champion reusable platform solutions over one-off builds, helping teams move faster while reducing complexity and long-term cost.
- Balance technical investment with business priorities, making informed trade-offs that deliver the greatest value.
- Act as the voice of the platform across planning, governance and prioritisation, bringing technical concepts to life for a wide range of stakeholders.
- Help create a brilliant developer experience by improving the tools, platforms and capabilities used by engineers, analysts and data scientists.
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.
What you’ll bring
- Experience building or owning enterprise-scale data platforms, either as a Data Engineer who has moved into Product Management, or as a Data Product Manager with a strong engineering background.
- A technical foundation that allows you to build credibility with engineers and confidently challenge technical decisions.
- Experience delivering data marketplace, data exchange or data sharing capabilities at scale – this is a key differentiator for the role.
- Strong understanding of data engineering concepts including data pipelines, data modelling, platform architecture and integration patterns.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear business outcomes.
- A product mindset, with experience balancing long-term platform strategy alongside the immediate needs of the business.
What you’ll get in return
- Life – support when it matters most, with healthcare from day one, family-friendly policies and help for life’s bigger moments.
- Work – the foundations that set you up for the future, including a competitive pension, life assurance and options like our EV scheme.
- Spirit – space to grow and enjoy the journey, with a personal learning budget, mentoring, volunteering time… and our famous “Screw it, let’s do it” pot.
- It’s all designed to help you feel your best, do your best, and enjoy the ride - with a few extra Virgin touches along the way (because we don’t really do “standard”).
