About the role
This is a standout opportunity to take on a senior, enterprise-shaping role at a genuine inflection point in our Data and AI journey.
At Yorkshire Building Society, our purpose is rooted in mutuality—making a positive difference for members, colleagues and communities. Data and AI are central to that mission, enabling smarter decisions, better experiences, stronger resilience and responsible growth that benefits members rather than shareholders.
We’ve built the foundations: modern cloud platforms, board-ratified architecture and trusted data capabilities. Now, we’re moving decisively from modernising the basics to realising strategic value. Data is no longer a reporting factory or downstream service—it is a core business capability, embedded where decisions are made and scaled through strong centres of enablement.
As Senior Manager for the Data Intelligence Centre of Enablement, you will lead the capability that turns those foundations into high-quality, reusable data products—fuelling insight, decision-making and measurable value across the Society.
About the role
This is a leadership role for someone who understands how data delivery, governance, platforms and business decision-making combine to create value in a regulated environment. It’s not purely strategic—and not purely technical—it’s about turning capability into enterprise impact.
You will drive data delivery excellence and enablement across the organisation, including:
- Leading the Data Intelligence Centre of Enablement, accountable for enterprise data delivery including Data Design, Modelling, Product Engineering, and Insight development.
- Building modern, scalable delivery practices that prioritise reuse over reinvention and outcomes over outputs
- Ensuring trusted, certified data products for reporting, analytics, modelling and downstream AI use
- Embedding governance, data quality and lineage by design to ensure auditability and regulatory readiness
While you won’t own AI delivery, your remit is critical in enabling it—high-quality data products are the foundation for everything our AI capabilities depend on.
About You
We’re looking for a credible, delivery-focused leader who brings depth, judgement and enterprise perspective:
- A leader who develops talent and capability at pace, embedding a culture of continuous learning, accountability, and high performance
- Senior leadership experience in data, analytics or data product organisations
- Strong experience with Microsoft cloud technologies, including Azure-based data platforms and modern analytics stacks
- Deep understanding of enterprise data landscapes and scalable cloud architectures
- Proven ability to design and deliver reusable data products at scale, including legacy migration
- Strong commercial acumen—understanding how data drives decisions, efficiency and growth
Financial services experience is a plus—but not essential. Understanding how to balance pace, governance and trust is.
In Summary
If you’re motivated by building trusted data foundations, enabling insight at scale, and leading teams through meaningful change—while working alongside AI and business leaders—this role offers the scope, platform and sponsorship to make a lasting impact.
