About Our Data & ML Team
Data & AI powers our growth and innovation. We build enterprise platforms to create actionable insight enabling colleagues to make effective decisions and create proactive, automated, hyper-personalised experiences for our customers.
We have a growing data and AI team in the UK and Netherlands. We function as the backbone for a variety of data-hungry consumers and platforms across the business within Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product teams. Our AI photo services are at the heart of our consumer experience and we’re expanding our footprint towards decentralised ML adoption within the business.
As a team, we have come together through mergers. We are at the end of a phase of simplification of legacy infrastructure and moving into the next phase of consolidation and growth.

About The Role
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our London-based data team and help us (re-)build a platform that accelerates a decentralised-by-design data adoption model within the business. We care about providing trustable, usable data that meets business needs. We want you to create and lead a high-performing team that delivers on this mission.
Whilst this is not a role that requires hands-on software development, we are looking for an experienced manager who has a strong delivery and technical background. You’ve been a software or data engineer in the past and now thrive in building and connecting technical teams to business outcomes.
