* Set and manage service level objectives (availability, latency, data freshness) and prioritise work based on reliability, regulatory obligations, and client impact.
* Lead the design and delivery of agnostic, reusable data services including ingestion, validation, transformation, metadata, access, and observability.
* Own Build platform capabilities (CI/CD pipelines, environments, templates) to enable safe and efficient delivery of data pipelines and products.
* Deliver and evolve Raw Data Services providing governed access to trusted datasets with clear contracts, lineage, and quality signals.
* Enable consistent data modelling through shared standards, reference models, and transformation frameworks.
* Support reporting and analytics consumption through semantic layers, certified datasets, and performance‐optimised patterns.
* Embed security, privacy, and regulatory controls into platform services and work closely with risk, compliance, and security teams.
* Implement strong platform observability, proactive incident management, and continuous improvement practices.
* Define and enforce platform standards (schemas, contracts, versioning, quality checks) to ensure interoperability and trust.
* Track and report on operational KPIs including reliability, throughput, cost efficiency, and adoption.
* Lead, coach, and develop a high‐performing core platform engineering team and embed modern engineering practices.
* Balance platform responsibilities with strategic enhancements and partner with Data Marketplace domain leads, architecture, governance, and security teams.
* Translate stakeholder and client needs into clear platform capabilities, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes and provide clear service documentation.
