• Own the roadmap and execution for data products spanning multiple domains such as apps, web, media, social and commerce
• Lead teams responsible for schemas, datasets and reporting outputs used directly by customers
• Drive improvements to data models and event structures, reducing complexity and inconsistency
• Shape and prioritise work on automation and internal tools that reduce manual effort and raise quality
• Partner closely with Product, Data Engineering and ML, Apps, QA and client facing teams
• Hire, develop and support engineers and tech leads through one to ones, feedback and career development
• Establish and improve engineering practices around observability, data quality, documentation, incident response and service levels

This role has real scope, technically, organisationally and culturally.

Who this role suits

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Enjoy leading engineers, not just managing work
• Have a solid technical background and like being able to challenge designs and assumptions
• Care about building well modelled, trustworthy data products
• Are comfortable balancing delivery, quality and long term platform health
• Like working cross functionally and navigating real world constraints

You will likely bring:

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead Manager in a data, platform or backend environment
• A background in data or backend engineering, such as AWS, Python or Scala, Spark, Airflow or similar
• Experience owning or supporting analytics, data or reporting products
• Strong people leadership skills including hiring, coaching and performance management
• A track record of delivering complex, cross functional initiatives
