Job Description

We are seeking a highly capable Technical Project Manager / Data Lead to lead the next phase of our Data Platform Project. This role is central to driving delivery across our data platform, ensuring successful optimisation, implementation, and stakeholder alignment during a period of organisational change.

The ideal candidate is a subject matter expert across modern data warehousing technologies, particularly Snowflake, and cloud-native data architectures, with the ability to pair strong hands-on technical understanding with structured delivery leadership.

This is a key role that will sit between technology and the business, ensuring the smooth execution of multiple workstreams, effective prioritisation, and proactive leadership within the Data function.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Delivery & Implementation

Lead and coordinate the delivery of Snowflake-led data platform initiatives, including modernisation, optimisation, and integration work.

Act as a technical decision-making partner for the Head of Data, contributing to architectural, design, and implementation discussions.

Oversee and guide engineering teams, ensuring clear direction, prioritisation, and delivery against roadmap commitments.

Manage and unblock technical issues, dependencies, risks, and trade-offs to maintain momentum.

Project & Programme Management

Own end-to-end project planning, execution, tracking, and reporting across multiple data initiatives.
Build delivery structure around ongoing optimisation and refactoring activities within the data warehouse environment.
Ensure all workstreams align with enterprise standards, governance, and regulatory requirements.

Stakeholder Management

Engage effectively with internal and external stakeholders, translating technology concepts into business language and vice versa.
Act as a key point of contact for IT, business teams, external vendors, and leadership stakeholders.
Facilitate workshops, status reviews, delivery checkpoints, and dependency alignment across teams.

Requirements

Technical Expertise

Strong background in data warehousing and modern data platform engineering, with hands-on knowledge of:
Snowflake (must-have)
Matillion or similar ELT/ETL tooling
Cloud-native data ecosystems (AWS/Azure/GCP)
Data modelling, data pipelines, and warehouse architecture

Project / Delivery Leadership

Significant experience in technical project management, implementation management, or technical delivery leadership within data environments.
Demonstrated ability to run and oversee technical delivery pods/squads.
Strong ownership mentality—proactive, self-sufficient, and able to make independent decisions.

Stakeholder & Communication Skills

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across IT, business units, vendors, and leadership.
Comfortable leading discussions, managing competing priorities, and providing clear, structured updates.
