Purpose of Role
As Data Manager you are the nerve-centre of BizClik’s data operations: every record that leaves a silo and lands in BigQuery travels a path you design, monitor, and improve.
Reporting to the Director of Technology and leading a two-person data team, you architect resilient ELT pipelines in GCP Dataflow, design warehouse schemas that reflect how the business operates, and document not just the fields but the full context - what the data represents, who uses it, and how it connects to real-world activity - so when questions land, you already know the answers.
Your remit spans governance - access controls, retention rules, GDPR-safe handling - and the technical operations needed to keep data flowing and reliable, from pipeline monitoring to resolving issues when things break.
You’re hands-on: writing SQL, tuning Dataflow jobs, tracking anomalies. You’re also strategic - prioritising the backlog, coaching the team, and roadmapping the next integration, schema upgrade, or governance control to keep pace with growth.
Responsibilities
* Design and maintain ELT pipelines: Develop robust ELT pipelines in GCP Dataflow and BigQuery to ensure seamless data flow from Salesforce, Piano.io, Apollo, and other sources.
* Architect data warehouse schemas: Create and optimize warehouse schemas that align with business operations, enabling efficient data retrieval and analysis.
* Comprehend and document data context: Delve into the meaning behind each data point, understanding its origin, purpose, and how it serves various business functions. Document this context to facilitate clarity and informed decision-making across teams.
* Understand and manage audience data: Gain a deep understanding of audience data, including demographics, behaviors, and engagement patterns, to ensure data strategies effectively support audience targeting and personalization efforts.
* Implement and enforce data governance: Establish and uphold data governance policies, including access controls, retention schedules, and compliance with regulations like GDPR, ensuring data integrity and security.
* Monitor and troubleshoot data systems: Continuously oversee data pipelines and systems, promptly addressing anomalies and issues to maintain data accuracy and availability.
* Lead and mentor the data team: Manage a two-person data team, providing guidance, setting technical direction, and fostering professional growth.
* Collaborate with business units: Engage with campaign and sales teams to understand their data needs, ensuring that data solutions are tailored to support their objectives effectively.
* Plan and execute data initiatives: Develop and implement plans for integrating new data sources, refining schemas, and enhancing data governance frameworks to support business growth.
About You
* Hands-on data engineer: You have a strong background in building and maintaining ELT pipelines, particularly within GCP environments, ensuring data flows are efficient and reliable.
* Data context expert: Beyond technical structures, you understand the stories the data tells - its origins, its implications, and its relevance to different business units.
* Audience insight: You grasp the intricacies of audience data, recognizing patterns and behaviors that inform strategic decisions across campaigns and sales initiatives.
* Governance advocate: You implement and uphold data governance policies, ensuring data integrity, security, and compliance with regulations like GDPR.
* Team leader: You lead by example, guiding your team with clear direction, fostering growth, and encouraging a culture of excellence.
* Collaborative communicator: You work seamlessly with various departments, translating complex data concepts into actionable insights that drive business success.
* Strategic planner: You're forward-thinking, always planning the next steps in data integration, schema evolution, and governance enhancements to support organizational growth.
