Health Innovation East has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Manager to join our rapidly expanding Health Informatics team. The Health Informatics team has specialist skills in delivering complex, technical programmes of work that include providing secure environments for storing and accessing health and other sensitive data to support health and care delivery, research, and innovation.
The Senior Data Manager is responsible for the end-to-end technical delivery of a major data programme within the DataOps function, ensuring high-quality, scalable, and secure data solutions are developed and maintained. Operating as the technical lead, the post holder will provide oversight to Data Managers and will coordinate data engineering and data management activities, including database design, administration, data pipeline development, and the transformation and integration of complex datasets into standardised, reusable formats.
The role bridges strategic objectives and hands-on delivery, taking ownership of planning, prioritisation, stakeholder engagement, and coordination of data activities across the team. This enables scalable delivery across multiple complex programmes and reduces dependency on centralised technical oversight.
The role requires strong stakeholder engagement, with the ability to translate complex technical work into clear plans, risks, and outcomes, and influence delivery approaches across academic, NHS, and industry partners. This is a chance to join a fast growing, dynamic company, whose purpose is to turn great ideas into positive health impact. Citizens, academia, health services and industry achieve more working together than in isolation. As part of a national network, we make this happen by bringing together all partners in the health sector, to develop and deliver innovative care.
This post is based in our Cambridge office, with opportunities for hybrid working. Flexible working hours compatible with the role can be considered (including the possibility of working part time). There will be a requirement to attend some in-person meetings both within the Eastern region and nationally.
We offer, in addition to a competitive salary, a pension scheme with up to 10% matching company contributions, access to an employee assistance programme, learning & development opportunities, and 27 days paid leave in addition to bank holidays. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Equal opportunities are provided in accordance with UK law.
