Digital Data Director, Data Consultant, Data Architecture, London

We need someone who is a seasoned Data Architecture and Engineering specialist…not someone who has "done a bit of data". This requires someone who has operated at Director level in some consulting background, someone who has the gravitas to face-off to senior stakeholders, shape work, originate opportunities and help take clients on a proper data journey.

You will be joining a rapidly maturing Digital Consulting team that works across the United Kingdom, where the work is genuinely varied, fast-paced and focused on helping clients use digital technology to create real business outcomes. You will report into a Partner and will play a major part in leading, growing, mentoring and shaping the team around you.

This is ideal for someone who is commercially minded, confident, curious, comfortable with ambiguity and genuinely enjoys solving complex business and data problems…not just producing technical artefacts for the sake of it. You must enjoy working with people and influencing outcomes, not hiding behind documents or code. Read on for more details…

Skills and experience required:

• A strong professional network across the United Kingdom and a demonstrable track record of originating, shaping and converting consulting opportunities for Data, Analytics and Artificial Intelligence projects
• Ideally Big 4 Experience, which would be preferable
• Strong consulting experience that includes solution development, proposal creation, commercial negotiation and building trusted adviser relationships with senior-level clients
• Proven ability to lead technical teams and data projects, with excellent coaching and mentoring skills
• A collaborative, pragmatic and client-centred mindset, with the ability to translate business problems into compelling data-led solutions
• A natural problem solver with intellectual curiosity and an agile, forward-thinking outlook
• A strong understanding of the real challenges businesses face today, and how digital and data technologies can genuinely enable change and transformation
• Significant experience in data architecture and data engineering, including building data platforms and working with cloud technologies such as Microsoft Azure
• Good grounding in programming and data engineering languages and frameworks such as Python, SQL, Microsoft Fabric and Databricks
• Certifications in relevant cloud and data technologies (Azure etc.) would be beneficial
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to inspire confidence in both technical and non-technical audiences
