Chief Data Officer
Up to £140,000 + Bonus + Car Allowance
Hertfordshire - Hybrid, 2 days per week
We are representing a market-leading UK Financial Services business who are looking for a Chief Data Officer to join their organisation. The role will report into the CTO and regularly face-off directly to the Executive Committee. You will inherit a team of circa 25 and will have full ownership of the end-to-end data lifecycle within the organisation, from Data Governance to Data Science & Analytics.
Our client are early in their Data maturity so the role will require a real evangelist who can generate excitement and relevant use cases for how Data can improve the business. There is an existing Data Strategy, but it is in need of a refresh. Expect some work to centralise BI and reporting, where disparate teams exist throughout the business units. Due to being in a regulated environment, Data Governance is well established and similarly, there is new cloud-based Data Platform that should lay good foundations for Data Engineering work. Data Science is a particular area of interest for this business, but the capability is still in its infancy.
We are looking for:
- Experience as a CDO or in Director/Head-of level Data roles
- Experience owning the full Data remit within an organisation, both technical and organisational
- Exposure to the Financial Services industry and relevant regulatory requirements
This is a highly confidential search so we cannot divulge client details until interview request, candidates will be asked to sign an NDA.
If this sounds of interest, please make an application.
