We’re at an exciting point in our data journey at Inside Travel Group.
We’re early in our data journey at Inside Travel Group with an initial Databricks setup in place, and early phases underway. Now we’re looking for someone to take ownership and shape what this becomes.
This is a foundational role where you’ll own “everything data” as we move forward:
Setting the direction and defining what good looks like
Building on what’s already in place and shaping the next phases
Driving how data is used across the business
You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact early, with the freedom to set the agenda and the backing to do it properly.
Define and lead our data strategy and roadmap
Build and evolve our data platform (including pipelines, models and standards)
Establish governance, quality and “trusted data” practices
Partner with teams across the business to deliver meaningful insight
Enable self-serve reporting and consistent KPIs
Set the foundations for a scalable data function and future team
You don’t need to tick every box - we’re more interested in how you think and approach problems.
We’re looking for someone who:
Has experience shaping data strategy in evolving or ambiguous environments
Is hands-on technically (SQL, Python, data pipelines, modelling)
Has worked with modern platforms such as Databricks or similar
Understands data governance, quality and building trust in data
Can translate between business needs and technical solutions
And importantly:
You enjoy ownership and autonomy
You’re pragmatic - you build things properly without over-engineering
You focus on real business impact, not just the tech
You’re comfortable starting hands-on and growing a team over time
You don’t need to meet every requirement. If you’re motivated, passionate, and think you’d be a great fit, we would love to hear from you. As an equal opportunities employer, we're committed to making our recruitment process inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for everyone.
