Role Overview
You're stepping into a fast-growing data environment and owning the architecture from the ground up.
Company
This is a UK-based European mid-market private equity firm, backing entrepreneurial management teams across technology, healthcare, and financial services. The data and product capability is growing, and there's a genuine appetite to do this properly.
Position
You'll be sitting as number two to the Director of Technology, which means real influence, real ownership, and a direct line into how data shapes the business going forward. You're not inheriting a finished platform. You're defining the roadmap, professionalising what exists, and building something modern that the whole firm can rely on.
