SystemsAccountants are partnered with a Global Organisation who are seeking an experienced Head of Data Engineering to lead the development, testing and operational running of a Data Engineering function. This role combines team leadership with strong technical grounding in Microsoft Fabric and environment management, alongside an ITIL centric approach to running data services in a well-governed, stable and continuously improving domain.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the development team, including oversight of testing and operational practices.
- Own environment management and platform operations within Microsoft Fabric.
- Apply ITIL-aligned service management practices, including SLA management, major incident management, problem management, and continual service improvement.

- Develop recommended solutions independently, socialise them quickly with data leadership, and move them into action at pace.
