Shape the data behind a national fee and payments system. We're looking for a Lead Data Engineer to take ownership of the numerical models and data strategy powering a public sector fees and payments programme.
The role
You'll lead the development, quality assurance, and operation of the R-based models used to calculate key fees and payments — models that need to be robust, transparent, and trusted by both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll also shape the wider data strategy: identifying what data is needed, how it's gathered, and how it's maintained across teams.
What you'll be doing
- Building and maintaining reproducible, well-tested R models and pipelines
- Leading data strategy — sourcing, maintaining, and aligning key datasets across teams
- Managing access to a data reporting portal and building tools to extract and analyse data
- Communicating complex analysis clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Representing the team in industry-facing and cross-organisational settings
What you'll bring
- Advanced R skills: dplyr, data.table, statistical modelling, simulation
- Experience building reproducible analytical pipelines with automated testing
- Solid Git/GitHub workflow experience
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Leadership experience — whether managing a team or coordinating delivery
