  • Oversee data storage and input procedures to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, a small BI development team, and third-party consultancies to deliver data transformation initiatives.
  • Communicate data strategies effectively to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment across the business.

Data Manager Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience leading data transformations across complex, enterprise-level systems.
  • Strong understanding of data automation, storage, and input processes.
  • Experience working with or managing third-party vendors or consultancies.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, able to present data insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with modern data tools, cloud-based storage, M365/Power Apps, and data visualisation platforms.

What's in it for me?

  • Competitive salary circa £80,000.
  • Hybrid working model - primarily Wakefield-based with one day a week in London.
  • Comprehensive healthcare package.
  • Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
  • The chance to build a data estate from scratch, influence the organisation's data strategy, and deliver tangible impact.
