We're open to applications from people who may require flexible working arrangements. There'll be an opportunity to discuss your flexible working requirements during the interview process, and at offer stage.

We're looking for a Lead Data Engineer to join our Data Enablement team, within our wider Digital Technology & Data team, on a 24-month fixed-term contract in Manchester. In this role, you'll help us to build modern data platforms; using tools like Python, Databricks, and Kimball Data Modelling to lead on the design and delivery of innovative data solutions.

As a Lead Data Engineer, you'll collaborate with a range of teams including Data Science, Analytics, Insight, Governance, and Business Intelligence. We'll look to you to lead a team of Data Engineers and use your strong technical experience to help us innovate and explore opportunities to improve the work we do. This is a hybrid role, with occasional in-person team meetings in the office.

What you'll do

  • Lead on the design and delivery of data solutions to support decision-making across Co-op
  • Manage and optimise our development, testing, deployment, and release processes
  • Collaborate with colleagues across the wider business to understand their data needs
  • Coach, mentor, and support your team of Data Engineers in their development
  • Work alongside colleagues in our data leadership team to find and explore improvement opportunities
  • Work with our Delivery colleagues to provide project timeline estimations based on available resources and capacity in the team

This role would suit people who have

  • Experience leading a team within a modern cloud environment (or previous experience as a Senior Data Engineer with a desire to step into a leadership role)
  • Experience coding using PySpark, SQL, and Python
  • Experience with data vault and/or Kimball data modelling
  • Good communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical information to a non-technical audience

Why Co-op?

If you've got the skills and experience we're looking for, we can offer you a competitive salary and great benefits package which includes 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores (as well as other discounts on Co-op products and services). You'll also get:

  • Private healthcare
  • An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
  • 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
  • Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
  • Coaching and training to support your career development
  • Wagestream – a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
  • Grocery Aid – 24/7 access to a range of emotional, financial, and practical support services for you and your family

Building an inclusive work environment

At Co-op, we're proud to do things a different way. As one of the world's largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. We're actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone. If you have a disability, we can make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process according to your needs.
