As Senior Data Science Manager within the Global Energy Management (GEM) Centre of Excellence, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of data solutions that support ScottishPower's energy management business. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the strategy, architecture, and delivery of innovative data platforms that enable business-critical decision making, support machine learning capabilities, and help drive our journey towards Net Zero.
Working at the intersection of data science, architecture, and business strategy, you'll influence the future direction of GEM's data landscape while leading complex programmes and external delivery teams in a dynamic and evolving environment.
What you'll be doing
Reporting to the GEM Centre of Excellence Manager, you'll lead the architecture, design, delivery, testing, and ongoing development of data solutions across the energy management function. You'll work closely with business stakeholders to understand requirements, translate business challenges into scalable data solutions, and ensure data is provided in an efficient, secure, and sustainable way.
You'll assess the current data landscape and develop a strategic migration roadmap that simplifies and modernises existing platforms. You'll act as product owner for data architecture and solutions within GEM, oversee delivery through external development and support partners, manage a portfolio of projects, and represent GEM's data strategy at senior leadership and enterprise-wide forums. Machine learning and data visualisation capabilities form an important part of the technology landscape you'll shape and evolve.
