Senior Group Engineering Manager - Data Engineering

About the role

The Data Strategy Lead is a senior leadership role responsible for defining and driving Client's enterprise data strategy. Client's data estate is in active transition — SQL Server as the source of truth, Redshift as the analytical target, Snowflake being decommissioned, and Confluent being evaluated for replacement by RedPanda.

What you'll do

• Define Client's multi-year data strategy aligned to business growth, regulatory requirements, and AI/ML ambitions
• Lead the transition from a fragmented, legacy SQL Server-heavy estate to a governed, Redshift-centred analytical platform
• Own strategic decisions on platform consolidation — Snowflake exit, Confluent-to-RedPanda migration, and long-term warehouse direction
• Establish data governance, data quality, and metadata management frameworks from the ground up
• Partner with Client Client (Data and AI Lead) and engineering leadership to embed data thinking into Client's product roadmap

What you need

• 20–30 yrs of experience
• Machine learning
• Redshift
• Snowflake
• SQL Server
• Roadmapping
• Any graduate
