Role Overview
:We’re looking for a Data Delivery Manager to lead our data delivery team — a group of eight analysts responsible for producing and maintaining the data products that sit at the heart of our client offer
.
This is a leadership role first. You’ll be the conductor of the team — setting the pace, maintaining standards, removing blockers and making sure the right things happen at the right time. You’ll be close enough to the data to understand what’s going on, and credible enough technically to jump in when it matters. But your primary job is to lead, support and develop the people around yo
u.
Think 80% directing and enabling, 20% doing. You’ll be the escalation point, the problem solver, the bridge between the data team and the rest of the business — research, technology, sales and commercial. You’ll know what’s coming down the pipeline before it becomes a problem, and you’ll have the team ready for
it.
This role suits someone who has come up through data — analyst, consultant, or similar — and has developed into a natural leader. Someone who is direct, clear, energetic and protective of their team. Someone who gets things done without dr
ama.
What You’ll Be
DoingLeading th
e team• Set the pace and direction for a team of eight data ana
lysts.• Line manage, coach and develop your team — understanding what each person needs to perform and
grow.• Be the energy source: a defender and advocate for your team within the wider bus
iness.• Run regular team check-ins, manage workload and keep delivery on
track.• Own all people administration: holidays, onboarding, training, documentation and time pla

Driving d

lenges.• Work with the team to resolve complex data problems, getting hands-on when
needed.• Ensure processes are documented, consistent and continuously imp
roving.
Connecting the
business• Bridge the data team with research, technology and commercial functions — ensuring dependencies are managed and handoffs ar

rements.• Keep the team informed and aligned with relevant business updates and pri
orities.• Contribute to product development and help shape how data products
evolve.
What We’re L
ooking ForIndustry background is less important to us than the person you are. We’re looking for someone with an analytical foundation who has grown into a natural people leader. You’ll likely come from a data, analytics or research background — in any commercial sector — and you’ll bring the
following
:
Essential• Proven experience leading or managing a data or analytics team — setting direction, developing people and ownin
g delivery.• A direct, clear communication style. You say what you mean, you don’t waffle, and you bring clarity to ambiguous
situations.• Strong analytical mindset — you understand data at a meaningful level and can problem solve across processes, products and
pipelines.• Advanced Excel including macros and VBA — used regularly, not just list
ed on a CV.• SQL — comfortable writing and interrogating queries to understand and resolve d
ata issues.• Experience working with large, complex datasets and owning data quality an
d accuracy.• The ability to juggle multiple priorities, stay organised under pressure and hit deadlines co
nsistently.• A degree in mathematics, statistics, data, or a related numerate
disciplin
e.
Desirable• Python — useful for automation and process impro
vement work.• Experience with ETL processes and dat
a pipelines.• Familiarity with data warehouse concepts — star schemas, dimensiona
l modelling.• Dashboard or visualisation experience (Power BI, Tableau
or similar).• Background in a commercial data, market intelligence or resear
ch business.
You’re probably not the
right fit if…• Your experience is primarily in product analytics, A/B testing or user behavi
our analysis.• You’ve spent most of your career in governance, policy or complianc
e frameworks.• You prefer to work independently rather than through and
with a team.• You’re most comfortable in large, process-driven organisations where ownershi
p is diffuse.
