About the job

Company Description We are a Digital Product Engineering company that is scaling in a big way! We build products, services, and experiences that inspire, excite, and delight. We work at scale — across all devices and digital mediums, and our people exist everywhere in the world (18000+ experts across 37 countries, to be exact). Our work culture is dynamic and non-hierarchical. We are looking for great new colleagues. That is where you come in!

Job Description We are looking for a senior data leader who has built enterprise data platforms, master data management and semantic layers at real scale — more than once — and who can sit across the table from client data leadership as a thinking partner in the morning and be in the modelling detail with the delivery team that afternoon. This is not an advisory role with a delivery team attached. It is a hands-on leadership role with a seat at the strategy table.

Qualifications Experience & Leadership

• 15+ years in data, with the last several in senior architecture or data leadership roles • At least two MDM programmes taken to production, with genuine accountability for match, merge and survivorship decisions — not oversight of someone else's. This is the requirement we weight most heavily. • At least three enterprise data platform builds delivered end to end at large, complex organisations — multi-business-unit, multi-region, heterogeneous source estates • Demonstrable experience designing and landing a semantic layer or shared business ontology that survived contact with more than one business unit • A track record of making the case for foundation work to executive stakeholders — and holding that sequencing when the pressure is to jump straight to use cases • Experience in environments where data arrived through acquisition and accretion rather than design Technology Depth We expect real, current, hands-on depth here — not familiarity. Cloud Data Platform

• Snowflake to a deep level — architecture, performance, cost, governance, data sharing

  • You have retired something — a legacy warehouse, a duplicate MDM stack, a reporting layer nobody would let go of — and you can explain how you got the organisation to agree.
  • You have sat in a room with two business owners who defined the same entity differently, and landed a survivorship decision that both could live with.
  • You can explain the difference between a data catalog and a semantic layer to a CFO, in terms of what each one changes about their week.
  • You have turned down or deferred a use case because the underlying data was not ready — and were proved right.
  • Your second domain, second market or second use case was meaningfully faster than your first, and you can say precisely why.

Additional Information • This a hybrid role, 1-2 days in office/weekly • Salary range: $190K- $240K annual total comp (base + bonuses) + Nagarro benefits Disclaimer: Nagarro is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
