We're partnering with a purpose‑driven organisation to recruit a newly created Data Lake Technical Lead. This is an opportunity to shape and deliver a secure, enterprise‑grade Azure Data Lake that will become the organisation's central source of truth for research, reporting and decision‑making. If you've designed or implemented Azure‑based data platforms and enjoy combining hands‑on technical leadership with architecture and stakeholder engagement, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
Reporting to the Director of Policy & Research, you'll take ownership of the organisation's Azure Data Lake environment, leading the technical design, implementation and ongoing evolution of the platform. Working closely with researchers, policy teams and key stakeholders, you'll help build a secure, scalable environment that supports data integration, analytics and reporting while ensuring strong governance and security practices. This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up rather than inherit an existing platform.

- Build secure, scalable cloud‑based data architecture
- Integrate structured and unstructured data sources
- Design and optimise ETL/ELT pipelines
- Develop secure access models and governance frameworks

We're looking for experience with:
- Azure Data Lake
- Azure Synapse and/or Azure Databricks
- Azure Data Factory
- ETL/ELT pipelines
- API integrations
- Cloud architecture
- Data governance and security
- Data modelling and integration
Experience with Qlik will be highly regarded.
