Understanding the needs of different functions (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Launch, Product, Support, etc) to translate business goals and problems into a clear strategy across tooling, data and enablement. This role will execute against these goals and enable measurably more productive teams. * Develop our data strategy and get hands on with our data. We have an amazing (small) data team. Help us prioritise, build the right infrastructure and work across our business functions to make sure data serves the whole business. * Ensure our non-technical teams know how to leverage themselves most effectively. We're rolling out a lot of internal know-how, AI and tools, and we want our teams to make the most of them. . * Own responsible & sensible governance. Define the guardrails - usage policies, access, data handling, and security controls - that let people use AI and data confidently and safely. * Support and manage a team of expert ICs. Provide hands-on guidance, problem solving, line management and career development paths for IT operations and data and business analysts. You'll be trusted to make decisions and expected to stand behind them. This Role Is a Great Fit If… * You're commercial and technical at once - you can make and defend an investment or build-versus-buy call, and hold your own in a conversation about data architecture. You're trusted by leadership and engineers alike. * You're a builder who ships and lands things - you've taken work from problem definition to idea to build to adopted, and you spike on prioritisation, coordination, and getting things over the line. * You're genuinely hands-on with a data / technical background - you understand the modern stack (warehousing, transformation, semantic layers, governance) well enough to challenge it, even if you no longer build it day to day. * You're excellent at internal GTM and change management - you translate technical work for non-technical audiences, manage stakeholders across functions like sales, customer and operations teams, and drive adoption by demonstrating value rather than mandating it. * You're fluent in AI as a working tool - you use it daily, know where it creates real leverage versus noise, and have moved organisations from experimentation to measurable impact, not just pilots. * You're a credible leader of specialists - you earn the trust of strong, experienced people quickly, and you'll challenge senior stakeholders constructively when the data or the economics don't support the enthusiasm. This Role Is Not a Great Fit If… * You want a purely technical research or hands-on ML/data-engineering role. * You're a pure strategist who delegates technical judgement. * You need an established playbook and a defined remit, or you'd rather maintain a function than build one. * You see technology and AI as a communications exercise rather than a measurable capability, or you're uncomfortable making investment calls, challenging senior colleagues, and being held to outcomes. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [Implementing continuous delivery in a data processing pipeline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/73-implementing-continuous-delivery-in-a-data-processing-pipeline) - [Hacking Your Vacation: Using Data for Fun](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/585-hacking-your-vacation-using-data-for-fun) - [Why Your AI Agent Keeps Hallucinating Your Data: Building Deterministic Context Layers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2055-why-your-ai-agent-keeps-hallucinating-your-data-building-deterministic-context-layers) - [Inside the AI Revolution: How Microsoft is Empowering the World to Achieve More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/869-inside-the-ai-revolution-how-microsoft-is-empowering-the-world-to-achieve-more) - [Big Business, Big Barriers?
