This is a transformational position that shapes how we design, build, and run data across the whole group. Reporting to the Head of Data, you’ll lead the strategy for our Data Engineering and Platform capabilities.

If you’re excited by the idea of building something truly meaningful, influencing a whole organisation, and setting the direction for years to come, this is your chance to make a big impact.

Job Responsibility:

  • Define, create, and deliver the group-level Data Engineering and Platform strategy.
  • Lead the 12-24 month planning and budget for your area.
  • Oversee data deliverables for a wide portfolio of business projects.
  • Ensure our data platforms are high‑performing, resilient, and available 24/7.

  • Manage relationships with vendors, partners, and third‑party service providers.

Requirements:

  • You’re a practical strategist — someone who can spot opportunities, design solutions, and bring people with you.
  • You’ve got a great eye for detail but can also zoom out and think creatively when needed.
  • You’re experienced in leading managers and planning ahead for the next 12-24 months.
  • You’re passionate about building a "data‑first" culture, where data fuels decisions and innovation.
  • You’re confident partnering with different teams and stakeholders, from hands‑on engineers to senior leaders.
  • You’ve delivered multiple data projects at once and can clearly articulate business value and ROI.
  • You stay curious about industry trends and emerging tech, and you know how to explain complex topics in simple, accessible language.
What we offer:
  • Holidays
  • 25 days, plus bank holidays (increasing to 27 days after 2 years with us!)
  • Pension
  • Contribute 5% of your annual salary and we'll do the same, giving you a little extra support for the future.
  • Be a VIP at the AO Arena
  • we have loads of opportunities to win free tickets and pre-sale access!
  • Health & wellbeing
  • discounted gym membership, an onsite spa and our Help @ Hand scheme giving you access to virtual GP’s, Mental Health support and much more.
