Our portfolio of brands—including Today Tix , New York Theatre Guide , London Theatre , Show-Score , Arthouse , Arthouse London, and Secret Cinema—connects millions of customers with the best in live entertainment. Powered by vast data and insights, TTG helps theatres, producers, and cultural institutions reach highly engaged audiences and unlock meaningful revenue, transforming how tickets are sold across the world.

In 2025, TTG entered a new chapter as part of MARI, the global events and experiences company powering world-defining live experiences. Together, we’re expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and accelerating a shared vision to redefine the event lifecycle through seamless discovery, purchase, and engagement. Life at Today Tix Group We thrive in a nimble, growth-oriented environment where adaptability, curiosity, and a bias toward action help us stay ahead of the curve.

We move quickly, iterate often, and expect everyone to take ownership of their impact - because we’re building the future of live events, and there’s no script for what comes next.

We are seeking outstanding applicants of all backgrounds to join our team to bring new voices, talent, and perspectives to the table. We encourage all to apply.

We're looking for a Lead Data Engineer to join Today Tix Group and own how we scale our data platform — the backend connecting product, growth, finance, and CX to a single source of truth, plus increasingly the substrate AI tooling across the company queries directly. You'll lead the team that owns the project end-to-end — staging, intermediates, and marts — plus the CI/CD pipeline and Snowflake platform underneath it.

This is a technical leadership role, not a heads-down modelling one — most of your time goes to architecture, review, technical strategy, and cross-functional leadership, with hands‑on modelling a deliberate minority. You lead by setting direction, raising the team's bar, and owning delivery, quality, and stakeholder trust across a high-demand roadmap.

The foundation is built — your job is what gets built on top of it as the org scales. TTG is expanding as part of MARI, bringing new portfolio companies' event and ticketing data onto the platform;
PxT (our partner-facing product) is growing its surface area; and the business keeps adding markets and brands. You'll design how the platform absorbs that growth — new sources, new consumers, higher stakes — without the architecture buckling.

If you thrive in a fast-moving, high‑ownership environment, measure your impact by the team's, not just your own, and care as much about business impact as technical craft, we'd love to hear from you — especially if, like the rest of the team, you reach for AI by default.

Please note:

This full-time position and qualified candidates must be based in the Greater London area. We encourage collaboration by working a minimum of 2 days per week in the office, with flexibility to choose where you work for the rest of the week.

• The platform scales, it doesn't strain— New portfolio events, new surfaces, and new markets onboard onto the existing staging/intermediates/marts pattern without one-off hacks or a rebuild.
• Data people trust by default— Certified marts stay accurate and documented as volume and source count grow; breaking changes get caught by CI and dbt tests, not discovered by a stakeholder in a dashboard.
• A faster, more autonomous team— Engineers ship models confidently without you reviewing…
