## Description

As Data Lead, you are the senior voice on how our clients' data is governed, shaped and put to work. You lead client engagements and a team of data professionals, help grow the team's offering, and, while always client-facing, can go hands-on to set the technical standard.

Your role centres on three pillars: data governance, data products and platforms, and the semantic layer. Agentic analytics is an area of familiarity rather than depth. In practice, that means:

 * Advise senior client stakeholders, turning data strategy into roadmaps and business cases
 * Define pragmatic, federated governance that business teams adopt and that makes client data ready for AI
 * Design and launch domain-oriented data products with clear owners and value cases, on architectures that fit each client's maturity and existing stack
 * Establish a governed semantic layer as the single source of truth for BI, applications and AI agents, and lead the analytics engineering practices behind it
 * Contribute to business development and the growth of Invent's data offering
