We’re partnered with a leading U.S. healthcare organisation currently undergoing a major data transformation, and they’re looking for a Data Engineering Manager to play a critical role in that journey
This is not a “keep the lights on” role. This is an opportunity to step into a function that needs rebuilding, take ownership, and shape what great looks like moving forward.
The Opportunity
You’ll inherit a data engineering team that isn’t currently operating at the level the business needs and your mandate is clear:
- Elevate performance
- Improve delivery speed
- Build a stronger, more capable team
- Help guide a transition from legacy systems to a modern data platform
Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in an upcoming data platform transformation, moving away from a traditional SQL Server / SSIS environment toward a scalable, cloud-based architecture.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead and develop a team of data engineers, improving output, standards, and accountability
- Identify gaps in capability and help shape the future team structure
- Drive improvements in how data is ingested, processed, and delivered across the business
- Work closely with senior stakeholders to align data engineering with business needs
- Support the transition to a modern cloud data platform (e.g. Snowflake, Azure, Databricks)
- Reduce reliance on legacy processes and improve overall data accessibility
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading and scaling data engineering teams
- Strong background in SQL-based environments (e.g. SQL Server, ETL/SSIS)
- Exposure to modern cloud data platforms (Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, etc.)
- Ability to balance people leadership (≈70%) with technical credibility
- Experience improving or rebuilding underperforming teams is a big plus
- Healthcare experience is helpful, but not essential
Why This Role Stands Out
- Genuine transformation mandate — not BAU
- Opportunity to rebuild a team and make a visible impact
- Involvement in a major platform modernisation decision
- High level of ownership and autonomy
- Backed by leadership who recognise the need for change
