Demand for Data Leadership roles
New Data Leadership postings at the employers we follow are up 7% over the last 5 weeks compared with the 5 before.

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.

- Design extensible integration frameworks, selecting appropriate patterns such as HTTP APIs, SDK-based ingestion, publish–subscribe messaging, event-driven services, and streaming or batch processing.
- Define how customer data is ingested, transformed, stored, governed, activated and consumed to support marketing journeys, digital experiences and analytics reporting.
- Own the technical design of third-party integrations, ensuring data flows are secure, resilient, supportable and capable of evolving as future requirements change.
- Lead technical discussions with platform owners, Adobe teams, vendors and delivery partners, establishing clear outcomes, responsibilities, dependencies and implementation decisions.

- Confidence leading technical discussions with internal stakeholders, vendors, partners and specialist engineering teams, including constructively challenging proposals where necessary.
- Ability to provide solution-level technical judgement while remaining willing to work at implementation level when the situation requires it.
