This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's most innovative insurance brands, where you can take ownership of Data Operations across a large-scale, business-critical data environment supporting analytics, machine learning, engineering, and architecture teams.
The Company:
This insurance company is continuing to invest heavily in its data platforms, cloud technologies, and data-driven customer experience. They are now looking for a Data Operations Manager to take ownership and ensure the organisation's data platforms remain reliable, scalable, and compliant.
The Role:

You'll oversee third-party suppliers and offshore teams, manage incidents and service performance, drive governance initiatives, and ensure data products are delivered effectively across the business.
