Architecture & Technical Alignment: Bridge the gap between C-suite strategy and engineering pods. Interrogate data architecture decisions, oversee cloud platform deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP, Databricks, Snowflake), and ensure technical solutions scale reliably and securely. Pre-Sales & Data Solutioning: Lead technical pre-sales engagements, architecting Statements of Work (SOWs) and solution proposals for complex data migration, platform modernization, and AI integration initiatives that are commercially sound and technically viable. Data Quality & MLOps Governance: Establish rigorous standards for data quality, data lineage, automated testing, and MLOps/DataOps practices to guarantee model reliability and pipeline performance. Programme Governance & Financial Rigour P&L & Commercial Accountability: Take full financial responsibility for large-scale data programmes (£10M+ annual revenue), optimizing team structures and scope execution to protect and grow delivery margins. Risk & Technical Debt Management: Proactively identify systemic risks-such as data security vulnerabilities, pipeline performance bottlenecks, regulatory non-compliance, and technical debt-mitigating them through clear, metric-driven communication. Regulatory Compliance & Data Ethics: Ensure all delivery frameworks adhere strictly to global data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and financial sector regulatory standards (BCBS 239, DORA, Basel frameworks). Global Leadership & Stakeholder Management Distributed Team Orchestration: Direct and empower distributed cross-functional teams (Data Engineers, Data Scientists, MLOps Engineers, Architects) of 100+ people across global delivery centers, tailoring operating models for maximum throughput. C-Suite Advisory & Business Growth: Serve as the primary delivery escalation point for client C-suite stakeholders (CDO, CIO, CTO). Translate complex data capabilities into tangible business outcomes while identifying high-value expansion opportunities. Engineering Culture & Mentorship: Build a high-performance culture around data engineering best practices, mentoring Project Managers and Technical Leads across the organization.
