• Guide engineering teams on best practice, methodologies, and solution design.
• 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.
