The Opportunity
Are you a master translator of data who can turn complex measurement strategies into clear, actionable roadmaps that clients love to use?
Open Partners is looking for a Data Senior Partner to own the translation of data strategy into delivery. This critical role bridges the gap between our high-level measurement thinking and client-facing execution. Sitting alongside our engineering capability, you will be the near-term priority as we rebuild this part of our team, turning technical concepts into work that internal teams and clients understand, adopt, and act on.
Your Role & Responsibilities
You will balance commercial acumen with clear communication to ensure our data and measurement projects are delivered flawlessly:
- Strategy Translation & Execution: Take high-level data strategies, concepts, and plans, and turn them into highly structured, clear delivery plans.
- Client-Facing Delivery: Lead live data and measurement projects, acting as the primary face of data delivery for clients and ensuring they fully understand the value of what is being delivered.
- Technical Translation: Act as the strategic bridge between our technical engineering team and non-technical stakeholders, bringing complex data concepts to life in a way that is clear and compelling.
- Commercial Partner Funding: Proactively identify and secure funding opportunities from key platform partners including Google, Meta, and Amazon.
- Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with the Data Centre of Excellence engineering team, clearly briefing in technical requirements without needing to write the code yourself.
- Quality & Governance: Act as the senior escalation point for clients on data delivery, reducing project drift and establishing clear definitions of done.

- Client Advocacy: Client and internal teams can clearly articulate what they are getting from our data work and why it directly impacts their business.

- Delivery Track Record: Proven experience translating high-level data strategy or complex measurement concepts into successful delivery plans.
- Outstanding Communication: The ability to present complex technical, analytical, or data-led concepts in an engaging and simple way to non-technical stakeholders.

- Conceptual Data Expertise: A solid conceptual understanding of measurement methodologies, attribution, or econometrics, along with a working familiarity with Big Query.
- Collaborative Leadership: The ability to brief and guide highly technical engineering specialists without needing deep, hands-on engineering skills yourself.
