Implement data validation procedures, security and controls to ensure accuracy and integrity of data;
Own the end-to-end data delivery process; addressing areas such as data quality, data mining, machine learning and advanced modelling; and

Create and manage strategies for master-data and metadata management.

**About You**:
Strong business acumen, stakeholder management and communication skills. These are the most important attributes of this role;
Proven experience and business exposure in a similar role across Data Leadership or Business Partnership, or a Senior Data Engineer role where you feel you're ready for that next step in your career;
Experience leading or mentoring a small but high performing team;
Experience in the Azure data stack (Data Factory, Synapse, Azure SQL DW, Azure Data Lake, Azure Analysis Services) and Snowflake highly advantageous;
Experience working in an agile environment and managing a backlog; and

Friendly, dynamic personality with a growth mindset for continuous learning and improvement. A key personality trait of helping others and your organisation through data enabled decision making.
