Head of Data - #2192902

Head of Data | £120,000 to £150,000 | UK Remote with quarterly team meet-ups in Cheshire.

An established, private equity-backed digital business is undergoing a significant technology and product transformation, and we're looking for a hands-on Head of Data to help lead the next chapter.

With approximately £100m in annual revenue, a newly established modern data platform and ambitious plans to become a genuinely data-driven, AI-enabled organisation, this is an opportunity to build something with real commercial impact.

The foundations are already in place, including a Databricks platform built around Medallion architecture. Now the focus is on unlocking its potential across customer acquisition, conversion, retention, pricing and profitability.

This isn't a traditional Head of Data role focused on reporting and managing large teams. We're looking for a player-coach who can combine technical leadership, hands-on data engineering and analytics with strong commercial thinking.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading and developing a small data team while remaining technically hands-on.
• Owning the evolution of the modern data platform, including Databricks, data modelling and analytics engineering.
• Partnering with Product, Marketing and senior leadership to improve customer lifetime value, acquisition, conversion and retention.
• Driving a shift towards real-time insight, experimentation, AI-enabled analytics and better commercial decision-making.

What we're looking for:

• Experience leading a data function or technical data team, perhaps as a Head of Data, Analytics Engineering Manager, Lead Analytics Engineer or similar.
• Strong hands-on experience with SQL, Databricks, dbt or modern data engineering and analytics platforms.
• A commercially minded approach, ideally gained within a product-led, e-commerce, marketplace, fintech or high-volume digital business.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the technology but wants to influence business strategy and see the tangible impact of their work.
