Data & Analytics Manager (Development)

Data & Analytics Manager - Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days onsite) • Salary: £90,000 • Benefits: benefits • Bonus: bonus

The Opportunity

A large, complex organisation operating in a highly regulated environment is seeking a senior level data and analytics professional to play a pivotal role in the evolution of its enterprise data capability. This is not a traditional people management or hands on engineering role. Instead, you'll act as a technical authority and trusted partner to the business, ensuring data solutions are well designed, robust, and genuinely support decision making at scale.

Why This Role Stands Out

• A senior, influence led role with no direct line management
• High exposure to leadership across technology and business functions
• Ownership of delivery quality across partners, vendors, and internal teams
• Balance of technical credibility and business facing engagement
• Opportunity to shape and mature a modern, cloud based data ecosystem
• Meaningful involvement in ongoing data and analytics transformation

What You'll Be Doing

• Act as a technical design authority across enterprise data and analytics solutions
• Oversee and challenge delivery from external partners and consultancies
• Translate business requirements into well structured analytical and reporting solutions
• Ensure strong design principles across data models and analytical layers, data pipelines and transformation processes, reporting and insight delivery
• Promote best practices in data architecture, governance, and development standards
• Bridge the gap between technical teams and senior business stakeholders
• Support and evolve cloud native data platforms and warehouse/lakehouse approaches
• Contribute to strategic initiatives focused on improving data driven decision making

Team & Environment

• Reporting into a senior data leader
• Lean internal data function supported by external delivery partners
• Collaborative, outcome focused culture
• Environment where technical judgement and stakeholder influence matter more than hierarchy

What They're Looking For Core Experience

• Strong background in modern, cloud based data and analytics environments
• Experience designing or overseeing enterprise data platforms and analytical solutions
• Good understanding of contemporary data architectures (e.g., warehouse, lakehouse, layered models)
• Comfortable working alongside and challenging third party delivery teams
• Proven ability to operate as a senior technical voice without direct management responsibility
• Confident communicator, able to engage credibly with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders

Profile Fit

A technically credible data professional who enjoys being close to delivery, comfortable balancing governance, design and pragmatic execution, able to influence outcomes through expertise rather than authority, and thrives in complex, highly visible environments.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to regulated or data intensive industries (e.g., financial services, insurance, telecoms)
• Experience supporting enterprise scale reporting and analytics platforms

If you have the above and are looking for a new role where you can operate at the intersection of technology, analytics, and business change, with strong visibility across senior stakeholders, we encourage you to apply.
