Head of Data – Director Level
We’re partnering with one of the most exciting technology companies globally as they look to appoint a Head of Data to lead their internal Data Science & Analytics function.
This is a genuinely influential, Director-level position with responsibility for shaping how data is used across the organisation to drive insight, improve decision-making and create measurable business value.
We’re looking for much more than a technical data leader.
The successful individual will need the drive, personality and credibility to have their voice heard across the entire business, influencing senior leadership and championing a truly data-driven culture.
The role will focus on:
- Leading the Data Science & Analytics strategy across the organisation
- Building and developing a high-performing data function
- Using data and advanced analytics to identify new opportunities and drive better business decisions
- Working closely with senior leadership to align data strategy with commercial objectives
- Championing a data-driven culture across the business
- Developing analytics, insights and data products that deliver tangible business value
- Driving best practice across Data Science, Analytics, governance and responsible data usage
- Exploring how AI, Machine Learning and emerging technologies can create further value
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.
What are we looking for?
We’re keen to speak with established data leaders who have operated at Head of Data, Director of Data, Head/Director of Data Science, Head/Director of Analytics or a similar level.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
- A strong background across Data Science and Analytics
- Previous experience within a SaaS or technology product business
- Experience building and leading high-performing data teams
- A track record of turning data into commercial and strategic value
- Strong C-suite and senior stakeholder management experience
- The personality and confidence to challenge, influence and drive change across an organisation
- Exposure to AI and Machine Learning would be advantageous
- Data Engineering knowledge is a nice to have rather than essential

This is not a Data Engineering or Data Platform leadership role. The focus is firmly on Data Science, Analytics, insight and business impact.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious data leader to take on a highly visible role and shape how data is used across a rapidly evolving global technology company.
