Head of Data
Salary: Up to £100,000
Location: London with highly flexible hybrid working
Benefits: 10% non-contributory pension, generous annual leave and strong benefits
Contract: Permanent
We’re partnering with an established organisation at the beginning of a major data transformation.
Its data environment is currently fragmented, with multiple sources, inconsistent definitions and limited internal ownership. As Head of Data, you’ll build an internal data capability from the ground up and establish data as a strategic business asset.
The role
You will:
- Build and lead a new data function, expected to grow to around five people.
- Establish the foundations of Microsoft Fabric and a medallion architecture.
- Consolidate disparate sources and improve data quality, governance, and ownership.
- Develop reporting and self-service analytics that support better business decisions.
- Improve data literacy through workshops, training, and stakeholder engagement.
- Work with the Data Architect and wider transformation programme to establish the foundations for future AI initiatives.
