West London

On site role

up to £78k + Benefits

TRIA are supporting a well-known, high-profile organisation in the search for a Data Engineering Lead to help transform how data is used across the business.

This is an opportunity for a senior, hands-on Data Engineer to step into a role with genuine ownership and influence. You'll be the lead data specialist within the organisation, responsible for evolving the data platform, shaping the data strategy, and building a modern data capability.

If you're looking for a role where you can make decisions, influence senior stakeholders and leave a lasting impact, this is it!

What you'll be doing:

• Taking ownership of the organisation's data platform and Snowflake environment.
• Designing, building and optimising data pipelines and integrations across multiple business systems.
• Improving data quality, reliability, performance and monitoring.
• Bringing fragmented data together to create a scalable and trusted data ecosystem.
• Defining data architecture, standards, governance and security controls.
• Working closely with senior technology leadership to shape the long-term data roadmap.
• Collaborating with third-party partners as the business transitions more data ownership in-house.

What we are looking for:

• Strong hands-on Data Engineering experience in modern cloud-based environments.
• Experience with Snowflake and building scalable data platforms.
• Expertise in data integration, ETL/ELT pipelines and data warehousing.
• Good understanding of data governance, security and best practice.
• Previous experience mentoring, leading or developing team members.
• Comfortable operating autonomously and acting as the senior data authority within a business.
• Someone who enjoys solving complex problems and building capability where none previously existed.

This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large team and simply keep the lights on. It's a chance to build something meaningful.

You'll have the freedom to influence technology decisions, introduce best practices, shape the future data landscape and work directly with senior leadership.

If you are interested and have relevant experience, please apply to be considered.
