The OpportunityFor a Data and Cloud Engineering-aligned Manager, the purpose is to turn data and AI capabilities into scalable, reliable and governable production solutions. This Data and Cloud Engineer Manager role spans the full platform and data asset lifecycle, from assessment and architecture through ingestion, transformation, governance, consumption, monitoring and support.

A person successful in this role will demonstrate and support team leadership, technical-talent development and commercial acumen.
Key Responsibilities:As a Cloud and Data Engineering Manager, you will play a crucial role in managing and delivering complex technical initiatives. Your time will be spent across various responsibilities, including:
- Lead one or more technical workstreams and assure delivery quality.
- Translate business and client requirements into architecture, pipelines, models, semantic layers or production platforms.
- Maintain daily client engagement, participate in working sessions and identify adjacent service opportunities.
- Manage resource plans, budgets and engagement economics.
- Own problems from raw source through data pipeline, model/analysis and production handoff.
- Automate, optimize and drive efficiency in processes, tools and communication across cross-functional teams (e.g. spanning data engineering, software engineering, AI/ML, architecture, cloud and governance).
- Remain hands-on: tested, version-controlled, observable code rather than one-off analytical notebooks
- Work closely with development teams and participate in planning sessions to achieve high level of availability, reliability and performance of their service and platform requirements
- Design, provision, and run the underlying cloud and container platform that application teams rely on in production

- Embed governance, observability, controls and operational support-not stop at model development or analysis

You will work with customers' technical leads, client executives, and partners to manage and deliver high quality systems with a focus on reliability and excellent customer experience, becoming a trusted advisor to decision makers throughout the engagement.
