- Work closely with product leadership to define and deliver on a data-driven roadmap, utilising experiments and insights to inform decision-making.
- Set and communicate a clear technology strategy, effectively diagnosing problems and prioritising solutions for both immediate and long-term impact.
- Own data governance, the data architecture and champion robust data orchestration and integration across all systems, including complex APIs and system design (internal and external).
- Develop and execute a comprehensive data infrastructure + strategy, focusing on stitching together SaaS services and data, and managing migrations (e.g., connecting comms together).
- Ensure strategic investment in the right tools and technologies, balancing short-term gains with effective technical debt management and long-term investments.

- Assess capability levels and invest in supporting at the right levels to close gaps in performance, skill, and knowledge.

- Deep understanding of public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and how to best exploit capabilities and manage execution costs.
- Expertise in data orchestration, integration, and API design for complex systems.
- Experience with data infrastructure strategy and managing significant data migrations and Salesforce integrations.
- A track record of managing technical debt and balancing short-term delivery with long-term strategic investments.
