Head of Data and BI

Head of Data & BI / York (3x per week) / 90k- 95k

We're hiring a Head of Data & BI to take full ownership of an established but evolving data function within a growing, commercially driven business.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure strategy position. You'll operate as a player-manager, leading a small team while remaining close to the tech, delivery, and stakeholders.

The environment is already strong, with a well-regarded Power BI estate, but now needs someone who can bring structure, prioritisation, and commercial impact.

What do we need from you?

• Strong Power BI expertise (core to the environment)
• Solid experience with Azure, SQL, and ideally Python
• Proven ability to lead small teams while staying hands-on
• Experience working closely with senior stakeholders
• Ability to prioritise workload and align data to business needs

Role overview

You'll take ownership of a split data platform, including a large Power BI estate and a partially outsourced data warehouse.

This role exists to bring:

• Clear ownership and direction
• Better stakeholder engagement and prioritisation
• Stronger focus on delivery and business outcomes

You'll also act as a Data Product Owner, ensuring the team is solving the right problems, not just responding to requests.

Key focus areas

• Own and evolve the end-to-end BI & data platform
• Lead a small team while remaining hands-on in delivery
• Drive data-led decision making across the business
• Improve stakeholder engagement and demand management
• Ensure reliable reporting, including business-critical financial data
• Support and shape a future Microsoft Fabric migration
• Balance BAU support with ongoing platform improvements

Why join?

• Full autonomy to shape the data function
• Broad role across BI, engineering, and product ownership
• Opportunity to drive real commercial value from data
• Work on high-impact, business-critical use cases
• A platform with strong foundations but huge scope to improve

If you're a hands-on data leader who enjoys owning problems, delivering solutions, and working closely with the business, apply now with a CV to Dominic Brown on
