As Service Owner, you will be accountable for ensuring the platform consistently delivers scalable, reliable, and well‑governed data capabilities in a large, on‑premises environment.

  • Manage capacity planning, budget oversight, and prioritisation for a platform team of around 10–12 people
  • Operate confidently within a 24/7 service model, including incident, problem, and change management aligned to ITIL practices
  • Make clear service decisions and lead escalations through to effective resolution
  • Partner closely with engineering and delivery teams on data pipelines, profiling, quality, and remediation capabilities
  • Establish strong stakeholder confidence through proactive communication and dependable service governance
  • Ensure standards, controls, and data quality outcomes remain robust across the platform
Skills & Experience Required
  • Proven experience owning or running a large‑scale technical platform, ideally within Financial Services or a similarly regulated environment
  • Strong understanding of data integration, data pipelines, data quality, profiling, and remediation
  • Hands‑on experience with Informatica or comparable enterprise data platforms
  • Solid technical grounding in SQL, data engineering concepts, and on‑premises data environments
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and engage diverse stakeholders in complex or high‑pressure settings
  • Experience operating across run and change in a service‑led organisation
  • Practical working knowledge of ITIL frameworks
  • Naturally curious mindset with a desire to continuously improve platform capability and service maturity
Why This Opportunity?
  • Full accountability for a mission‑critical enterprise data platform
  • Strong engineering environment with recognised brands and large‑scale data complexity
  • Meaningful influence over the future data direction of a major organisation
