Wealthtime is part of Quanta group, a next-generation financial services Group, providing a full wealth management service through three core businesses – Wealthtime, Copia Capital Management and Craven Street Wealth.

About The Role

Group IT is a newly forming department following the creation of the Quanta Group and changes to the way services are provided to subsidiary companies. Group IT will provide Corporate IT services across all group companies and manage the IT service provision from third-party providers.

This role will own the development of the Group’s data platforms — including data lake, data warehouse, and analytics tooling — with a strong emphasis on Microsoft Fabric and modern cloud‑based data engineering practices. It will ensure data integrity, quality, lineage, and accessibility, enabling the business to derive meaningful insight and value from its data assets.

This is both a strategic and hands‑on role: the Enterprise Data Manager will shape the roadmap, define the architecture, and also lead the technical build of the Group’s data warehouse and associated data pipelines. Working closely with technology, operations, and business stakeholders, the role will embed strong data governance, drive adoption of data standards, and support the development of a data‑driven culture.
