Applying through Workday
- You create an account with each employer before you can upload anything. Every Workday employer has its own account, so one sign-up doesn’t carry over.
- “Autofill with Resume” comes right after sign-in, before the My Information and My Experience steps. Check every field it fills in those steps, since that’s what recruiters see.
- Your application status lives in that employer’s Candidate Home, under the same sign-in.

About the role
We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.
Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.
Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.
Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.

Job description
Role
Own day-to-day delivery across data engineering, analytics and ML/AI. Accountable for delivery predictability, capacity planning and the reporting that goes to stakeholders. Line manager for the engineering team.

- Monthly performance reporting: throughput, cycle time, quality, capacity, effort mix
- Line management for 15–20 engineers — performance, development, retention
- Primary escalation point for delivery issues with stakeholders
Required
- 10+ years in data engineering or analytics delivery, including 10+ managing engineers directly
- Hands-on Jira: workflows, custom fields, JQL, board and dashboard configuration. Able to build the reporting, not just request it
- Practical agile delivery — sprint mechanics, capacity planning, flow metrics
- Working knowledge of SQL, cloud data warehousing (BigQuery preferred) and pipeline development: enough to challenge an estimate and review a design
- Track record presenting delivery performance to senior stakeholders
Preferred
- Data Engineering & ML delivery exposure, from requirement through production and retraining
