Manchester, United Kingdom Car Finance 247 Full time

**About The Role**:
Here at CarFinance 247 we are currently recruiting for a Head of Data to join our Tech Team

Our Head of Data will head up our entire data team of scientists, analysts, architects and DBAs. Reporting to the CFO you will provide key strategic data-driven insights to the executive team. You will manage, recruit and inspire a small team of PhD qualified data scientists, experienced analysts and data architects. As the Head of Data, you will be present at key strategic meetings and become a trusted member of the senior strategic team.

A highly proficient, technical analyst is preferred - you should be able to perform your own first stage analysis and recommendations within our existing framework and evolve that framework to support greater insight. This is an active role where you can show off your technical, analytical skills to great effect.

This role will suit an experienced data scientist looking for a move into a more strategic role but one who wants to remain hands on with the data. It can also suit a highly experienced analyst with exceptional technical skills. You will be able to manage a team, keep them motivated and focusses and organise their work - but these people are in place, and already performing well - we’re already on a journey and we’re looking for a team player, who enhances the team, gets into the data, and can talk to people at all levels in the company.
