Data Team Lead

Up to £130,000 + discretionary bonus

Finatal is partnering with a fast-growth, private equity-backed data services business undergoing significant technology and data transformation. The business is investing heavily in its internal data capability and is looking to appoint a Data Lead as its first senior internal data hire. This is a genuinely greenfield opportunity to design and build a centralised data platform from the ground up, replacing fragmented reporting and manual processes before developing the analytics and BI capability across Finance, Commercial, and Operations.

• Lead the design and delivery of a greenfield modern data platform, from architecture and source mapping through to implementation.
• Integrate data across core CRM, ERP and operational systems, creating a trusted and governed source of truth.
• Build the reporting and analytics layer across ARR, NRR, churn, pipeline, renewals, customer engagement and financial performance.
• Lead key technology and tooling decisions across the data stack while remaining hands-on with delivery.
• Work closely with senior stakeholders across Finance, Commercial, Product and Technology to translate business requirements into scalable data solutions.

• Proven experience personally starting, leading and delivering a greenfield data warehouse or data platform.
• Strong hands-on technical capability, including advanced SQL and experience with modern data tooling such as Snowflake, Fabric, dbt, Fivetran, Airflow or equivalent.
• Experience implementing and owning a BI platform, including semantic modelling and user adoption.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to senior non-technical stakeholders.
• Ideally experience within a smaller, PE-backed or recurring-revenue business, with exposure to Finance, ARR and commercial reporting.
