The next phase is about maturing the platform improving architecture, engineering standards, scalability, automation and governance, while ensuring it can support the organisation's continued growth and future ambitions around AI.

The Role Working closely with the Head of Data, you'll become the technical lead for the data platform, taking ownership of its architecture, engineering direction and ongoing evolution. You'll lead a small team of Data Engineers while remaining close to the technology providing technical direction, mentoring the team, reviewing designs and getting involved in complex engineering challenges where required.

The challenge now is to take ownership of what comes next. You'll have genuine influence over the technical direction of an enterprise Microsoft Fabric platform, significant autonomy in how it evolves and the opportunity to work closely with an experienced Head of Data who is looking for a technical partner , rather than simply another engineer.
