Hybrid | London / Home Based
We're supporting a well-respected national organisation undergoing a major digital transformation, seeking a Head of Data to establish and lead its enterprise data capability.
This is a genuine opportunity to build a function from the ground up, shaping the organisation's data strategy, governance, and culture while laying the foundations for future AI adoption.
The Opportunity
You'll take ownership of the organisation's data strategy at a pivotal point in its transformation. Having historically relied on outsourced data services, the business is investing heavily in bringing data capability in-house, implementing Microsoft Fabric and creating a modern, trusted data platform.
Reporting into senior leadership, you'll work across the business to improve data quality, governance, and literacy, ensuring data becomes a strategic asset that drives better decision-making.
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.
Alongside defining the operating model, you'll build and develop a small, high-performing data team while partnering closely with technology, business, and executive stakeholders.
What You'll Be Doing
- Define and deliver the enterprise data strategy.
- Build and lead a new internal data function.
- Drive the implementation and adoption of Microsoft Fabric.
- Establish robust governance, standards, and data quality processes.
- Create a single source of truth across multiple business systems.
- Improve organisational data literacy and promote self-service analytics.
- Partner with senior stakeholders to identify opportunities where data can unlock business value.
- Develop the roadmap that enables future AI and advanced analytics initiatives.
- Present regularly to Executive Leadership and Board-level stakeholders.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who has already led large-scale data transformation rather than simply managing a reporting function.
You'll ideally have experience of:
- Building or transforming enterprise data functions.
- Leading organisation-wide data strategy.
- Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Power BI, or modern cloud data platforms.
- Data governance, architecture, and master data management.
- Establishing reporting standards and trusted data products.
- Building and developing high-performing teams.
- Working closely with executive stakeholders and influencing organisational change.
- Driving cultural change and improving data literacy across a business.
Experience supporting AI readiness, advanced analytics, or data-driven transformation programmes would be highly advantageous.
