I'm currently looking for a Head of Data Engineering to join a global organisation going through a Data and AI modernisation journey. This is a data engineering leadership role, not a general engineering management role. They want a practitioner who has built modern data platforms. This is a hands‑on, practical leadership role. You should know how to use modern data technologies to design scalable solutions that deliver real business outcomes. This is a brand new role within this organisation and a great opportunity for someone to shape this data platform.
