Lead implementation of data solutions, with a focus on scalability, performance, and security.
Translate complex technical concepts into understandable terms for non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership.
Actively engage with business stakeholders to understand their needs and turn them into actionable technical requirements.
Provide input on data modelling, data flows, and pipeline optimisation as part of delivering robust platform capabilities.
Identify and mitigate risks associated with domain-specific technologies and delivery.
Key Requirements of the Data Engineering Product Owner:
Strong background in data engineering, with experience in a product owner or product manager.
Proven ability to work closely with both business and technical teams – translating complex requirements clearly to both.
Experience working with AWS (preferred) or Azure cloud environments.
Hands-on experience or strong understanding of Databricks (or other Spark-based platforms).
Familiarity with modern data modelling approaches and pipeline design.
Confident leading conversations across technical teams and stakeholders – strong communicator and collaborator.
Knowledge of data security, governance, and best practice tooling is a plus.
Ideally degree-educated in Computer Science, Engineering, or similar, with 8+ years in data-related roles.
