Data Team Lead/Head of Data

An AI intelligence platform, focusing on the Banking sector, is looking for a Data Team Lead/Head of Data

This is an exciting greenfield opportunity, where you can drive technical direction in a fast-growing organisation. As in any start-up, this role will require you to be a hands-on leader, but also set the vision and direction as we look to grow.

Current team consists of 3 members (Data Engineer, Data Scientist & Data Analyst) - however, depending on the size of our next funding round, we're expecting this team to grow to 6-10 members over the next 18-24 months, and as the team expands, the need for hands-on involvement will decrease over time and focus more on strategy, architecture and team management.
