About the role
We are looking for a manager to lead complex, multi-disciplinary Data Engineering teams to deliver high-impact platform and product outcomes. This role combines strong delivery leadership with deep technical acumen across modern data platforms, analytics engineering, and applied AI/automation.
You will initially lead our in-flight Oracle data warehouse to Snowflake migration. This is not a lift-and-shift. We are refactoring, redesigning data models and pipelines, and modernizing our ecosystem to unlock scalability, performance, cost efficiency, and advanced analytics. We’re looking for a leader who blends strong delivery leadership with deep technical acumen and an enthusiasm for AI enabled accelerators.
What you’ll do here
Build, develop, and retain high-performing Data Engineering / Software Engineering teams, ensuring the right mix of skills and behaviors.
Recruit key talent and evolve team composition as program phases and priorities shift.
Own end-to-end planning and delivery for complex initiatives: discovery, design/refactoring, build, test, release/cutover, and decommissioning as needed.
Establish scope, milestones, budgets, timelines, dependencies, and risk/issue management; maintain dashboards and KPIs.
Divide work into achievable tracks with clear roles and responsibilities, balance business needs with individual strengths and aspirations.
Provide technical leadership to the team, understanding the solutions and propose improvements and adjustments for efficiencies using modern technology.
Promote responsible AI usage to accelerate code understanding, refactoring, documentation, testing, and analytics—defining standards and guardrails for privacy, security, and validation.
Build strong relationships with product, architecture, security, finance, and business partners.
Communicate complex technical concepts and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, document and report progress.
Ensure governance adherence; proactively escalate risks and drive timely decisions.
Ensure adoption of best practices across data modeling, coding, version control, testing, observability.
Embed security and data governance (access controls, classification, privacy/compliance) into platforms and pipelines.
Promote communities of practice, knowledge sharing, and built-in quality; continually optimize processes and tools.
What you bring to the table
Bachelor’s degree in information technology/software engineering or equivalent education and experience.
10+ years across data engineering/analytics/AI/software engineering, with 5+ years leading large teams and complex initiatives.
Proven experience leading enterprise data platform programs and migrations between major DWH technologies (e.g., Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server) and modern cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Databricks).
Up to date with technology advancements and market trends in data platforms, analytics engineering, AI/ML tooling, and cloud services.
Understanding of:
Data modeling (dimensional, data vault), orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Control M), CI/CD for data, data quality, and observability.
Modern data stack
AI/LLM tools to accelerate development and analysis, with clear validation and governance practices.
Strong stakeholder management, influence, and communication skills; able to navigate ambiguity and drive cross-functional decisions.
