The Manager, Data & Analytics leads GAVL's Data Engineering, BI and Data Science team and turns business priorities into analytics products that people actually use. The role covers leading the team, reviewing its work, and working directly with Business Units and corporate functions to understand their problems, interpret data and get dashboards, reports, nudges and self-service tools adopted.

Key Accountabilities

·      Roadmap and prioritisation: Turn GAVL and Business Unit priorities into a clear analytics roadmap, ranked by value, feasibility and data readiness, with a business owner for each use case.

·      Business engagement: Work with sales, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, finance and other functions to define the decision to be improved, agree baselines and success measures, and pick the right solution, whether a report, forecast, model, alert or self-service tool. Manage dependencies with IT and external partners.

·      Team leadership and review: Set priorities and standards for Data Engineers, BI Developers and Data Scientists. Review designs, data models, reports and models at key stages, coach the team and keep ownership clear.

·      Analytical rigour: Question assumptions, check methods and interpret results so recommendations are statistically sound and clearly explained. Make sure models are explainable and monitored for drift.

·      Data governance: Keep metric definitions, data quality, documentation, access and security consistent, working with data owners, the Data Platform and Governance team, and IT.

·      Adoption and value: Plan adoption for each major product with business champions, training and feedback. Track usage and decision impact, improve or retire low-use outputs, and confirm benefits with business owners.

·      Platform and cost: Know GAVL's data landscape well enough to guide design, reuse and cost together with the platform team.
