Head of Data

Looking to take the reins of a dynamic data team while still appreciating the joy of a beautifully visualised dashboard? Here’s a role that blends strategic influence, hands-on leadership, and modern data infrastructure with a global mindset and a collaborative spirit. This fast-growing life sciences compliance company is on the hunt for a new Head of Data to lead their expanding data function and shape the future of their product and tech landscape.

In this high-impact leadership role, you’ll drive the company’s global data strategy and oversee a talented team of engineers, analysts, and data scientists. The ideal candidate brings both vision and execution; someone who can translate business goals into actionable insights and architect a data platform that scales with ambition. From AI-driven automation to sophisticated analytics, you will help the organisation unlock new value streams and ensure that every decision is backed by meaningful, accurate, and timely information.

You’ll bring experience leading data teams in fast-paced, data-centric environments and will feel comfortable switching between high-level strategic conversations with executives and deeper technical discussions with the team. Expertise with modern data stacks such as dbt, Snowflake, and Airflow is expected, as is a deep appreciation for governance, documentation, and privacy standards.

Beyond the technical and strategic skills, the Head of Data will be a trusted partner across departments, from finance and operations to commercial and product, building the systems and culture that empower colleagues to make informed decisions. There’s ample room for creativity, leadership, and innovation, with full backing from a company that values reliability, openness, and real impact over buzzwords and dashboards-for-the-sake-of-dashboards.

This is more than a data job; it’s an opportunity to shape how quality and compliance in life sciences are understood, measured, and improved through data. With a flexible international work culture, generous benefits, and a strong commitment to professional growth, this role offers the rare chance to do work that matters, with a team that believes in making it fun along the way.
