Head of Data | SaaS Scale-Up | Full Data Ownership We’re partnering with a high-impact SaaS business on a retained search for a Head of Data — a pivotal leadership role at the heart of their ongoing digital transformation. This is a company where data is the product. Their platform helps global enterprises and government bodies stay compliant and make smarter risk decisions — and you’ll be the one shaping the future of that data. As Head of Data, you’ll have full ownership of the data architecture, platform, and vendors — including P&L accountability. You’ll lead and scale a small but mighty team, partner closely with Product to launch data-led features, and have the green light to build a data science function from the ground up. Ideally, we would like to speak with Data Leaders who have experience of B2B and building external data products, as this is a key element of the data strategy moving forward. This is a senior, strategic role, but you should be able to challenge data and/or analytics engineers on their design choices. You’ll also work closely with customers. While this company is not a consultancy, the Head of Data will need to understand how customers interact with the product — and therefore how data must be structured, accessed, and surfaced to create the most value. Why this role? ✅ A chance to own the data strategy at exec level ✅ Lead the move to a modern cloud-native data platform ✅ Be responsible for the data roadmap, spanning infrastructure and product innovation ✅ Introduce AI workflows and design architecture that unlocks the value of AI ✅ Influence product development with data at the core ✅ Engage directly with users to shape how data powers the product experience Our client is London based but offers very flexible working hybrid working. You'll be required to be in the office on a weekly basis, without any set days. We cannot offer sponsorship.
