We’re working with a data and technology consultancy on a senior hire to lead and grow their commercial data platforms practice.

This is a client-facing leadership role. You’ll be the person clients trust to turn their data and customer challenges into platforms that deliver real results, from the first conversation and POC through to delivery.

• Designing data platforms that power analytics, AI, customer intelligence and marketing activation
• Advising clients on data governance and operating models so platforms get adopted and scale
• Building relationships with Snowflake, Databricks and cloud partners to create joint pipeline
• Building and leading a multidisciplinary team of engineers, architects and delivery leads

What you’ll bring

• Experience in a consultancy, systems integrator or technology services business, in a senior client-facing role
• A strong presales record: shaping deals, writing proposals and presenting to executives
• Strong technical credibility across modern cloud data platforms, ideally Snowflake and Databricks
• Experience delivering platforms for customer data, personalisation or marketing activation (CDP, Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud or similar is a big plus)
• Experience leading teams of engineers and architects
• The confidence to advise CDOs, CIOs, CTOs and marketing leaders

What’s on offer

• £100,000 to £130,000 base plus performance bonus
• Pension up to 5% matched
• Private health, life insurance and a health and wellbeing plan
• 25 days holiday and a working abroad policy
• Hybrid working: around three days a week on client site or in the London office
