## Description

I'm working with a hypergrowth business in Manchester who are looking for a Data Engineering Manager. They have new PE investment behind them and a major transformation project is underway.

This is a hands-on leadership role sitting at the centre of a significant data platform transformation. You will be running the data engineering squad, responsible for delivering the data infrastructure, pipelines, and reporting capabilities the wider business depends on.

They are moving away from traditional batch processing toward a real-time, event-driven architecture and you will be leading that technical journey while keeping everything running reliably in the meantime. It is not a steady-state role there is a real mandate for change, proper investment to back it up, and a new Data Director coming in who wants to build something impressive.
