About Whitbread
At Whitbread, we're investing in the future of data and analytics to help drive smarter decisions, operational excellence, and business performance. We're looking for a Technical Product Lead to join our Data & Analytics team and play a pivotal role in shaping and evolving the data products that support teams across the business.
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded data professional who can bridge the gap between business needs and technical delivery, ensuring our data products deliver measurable value, support compliance, and help stakeholders make better decisions faster.

As a Technical Product Lead, you'll support the development and operation of data products that enable teams across Whitbread to make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency, compliance, and performance. Working closely with senior stakeholders, Heads of Department, and delivery teams, you'll help define data strategies, identify opportunities for improvement, and build product roadmaps that align with both business and data priorities.
