What you’ll do
Lead and deliver data pipeline and platform work within the GCP consolidation programme, owning squad commitments end-to-end across batch and real-time (Kafka) workloads
Coach, develop, and performance-manage a squad of data engineers, fostering a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement

Act as the technical point of contact for stakeholders in Compliance, Marketing, and Data Science, translating requirements into well-scoped engineering deliverables
Maintain delivery rigour: run sprint cadences, manage commitments, escalate risks early, and report on pipeline SLOs, data freshness, and DORA-style engineering metrics

Hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale data pipelines on GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Composer/Airflow, GCS), with proven knowledge of Apache Kafka and real-time streaming architectures
Demonstrated experience leading or technically mentoring a team of data engineers, with the ability to set standards, conduct code and design reviews, and grow engineers’ capabilities
Strong grasp of data quality practices: data contracts, pipeline observability, SLA/SLO definition, and automated alerting and remediation
Solid understanding of SQL transformation patterns and modern tooling such as dbt, alongside experience managing ingestion estates with third-party connectors and in-house integrations
Clear and confident communicator able to work cross-functionally with non-technical stakeholders; comfortable in a regulated financial services environment with structured delivery disciplines (sprint cadences, change control, escalation)
Raise the bar: Take ownership, be accountable and share feedback
