We are seeking a Data Technologist and Strategist to architect and steer the next phase of our client’s data ecosystem evolution. This is a senior, hybrid role—combining deep, hands-on architectural design within Data teams, with strategic influence across the C-Suite and broader Technology organisation.

​

The Opportunity:

One of our long-term clients is looking to elevate and challenge our existing Data Strategy, with a key focus on delivering against four foundational pillars:

• Real-time data streaming

  to enable Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and advance event-driven modeling approaches

• ELT & Lakehouse practices

  to engineer scalable Data Products that democratise access and unlock business value

• Data Management excellence, embedding robust practices such as Data Registration, Lineage, and Ontology to improve governance and mitigate risk

• Tooling optimisation, ensuring alignment with modern data skillsets and reducing reliance on niche, hard-to-resource technologies

​

Location:

• Role is based in the East Midlands.

• Willingness to work onsite (3 days) with flexibility for hybrid working where applicable.

• Occasional travel may be required within the UK

​

What you need:

• Recognised industry expert in Data Technology, including Machine Learning and Generative AI, with a strong grasp of emerging trends and their strategic application to drive business value.

• Strategic leader, capable of co-authoring and executing a compelling data strategy in close partnership with Product, grounded in real-world architecture and business impact.

• Deep technical expertise in Streaming Data, Event-Driven Architectures, and modern Data Lakehouse patterns—encompassing Data Products, ELT pipelines, Distributed Processing, Snowflake, and Data Governance. Proficient in Python, Spark, Java, and AWS Cloud (e.g. Serverless, DynamoDB).

• Fluent in modern software engineering principles, patterns, and practices, with the ability to embed and scale robust methodologies that drive quality, consistency, and velocity across teams.

• Exceptional communicator, adept at aligning cross-functional teams—Tech, Product, Architecture—at all levels of the organisation, from senior executives to delivery teams, both within the UK and globally.

• A driver of cultural transformation, shaping the adoption of modern Data Technology and advancing a data-first mindset across large-scale, cross-functional organisations.
