A leading London Market insurer is looking for a technically strong Data & Analytics Manager to play a key role in the evolution of its enterprise data platform.
This is not a traditional people management role and equally not a purely hands‑on Data Engineering position.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing technical ownership across the organisation’s cloud data and analytics platform
- Supporting the continued development of a modern Medallion (Bronze, Silver, Gold) Lakehouse architecture
- Driving best practice across BigQuery, data modelling, data quality, governance, and engineering standards
- Reviewing solution designs and challenging external MSPs and consultancies to ensure high-quality delivery
- Acting as the technical escalation point across Data Engineering and Analytics projects
- Influencing architecture decisions across cloud data platforms and enterprise analytics
- Partnering with business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable data solutions
- Supporting enterprise reporting, analytics, and self‑service BI capabilities
- Championing modern engineering principles, documentation, testing, CI/CD, and production best practice
- Helping shape the future roadmap of the organisation’s Data & Analytics function
Technical Environment: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), BigQuery, Medallion Architecture, Lakehouse Architecture, SQL, Python, Google Cloud Composer, Vertex AI, Tableau, SSIS, SSRS, Control‑M, Git, CI/CD.
What They’re Looking For
- Strong background in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Cloud Data Platforms
- Excellent experience with Google Cloud Platform, particularly BigQuery
- Experience designing or working within Medallion (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and Lakehouse architectures
- Strong SQL and data modelling skills
- Experience building enterprise-scale ETL/ELT pipelines and modern analytics platforms
- Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, metadata, and engineering best practice
- Experience working with or managing external MSPs, consultancies, or offshore engineering teams
- Comfortable reviewing architecture and challenging technical decisions
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Passion for delivering scalable, cloud‑first data and analytics solutions
- Desirable: Insurance or Financial Services experience
- Alteryx
- Experience within regulated environments
- Knowledge of enterprise reporting and self‑service analytics
