Data Platform Manager

The Manager will join a small team looking after a proprietary media investment reporting platform. This role will initially be one of issue triage and supporting the AD leading the team. Later, once more familiar with the platform and various stakeholders, this role will more independently speak for the team, and resolve issues themselves. This role is a primarily human-facing one of user engagement, partially transitioning to a more technical focus later on.

Platform Management

• Understanding problems facing our teams, and establishing whether we can help, and owning both the conversation and the solution.
• Take the lead on data quality, finding ways to quantify the quality, punctuality, completeness and accuracy of our data, and finding ways to improve all four.

User Management

• Be the first point of contact for confused or lost users. Ideally not only resolving their immediate issue, but explaining to them why this happened and how to avoid it in future.
• If an issue is common or disruptive, working with the rest of the team to find a way to stop it happening again.
• Engage with junior/mid-level users to ensure they are aware of what our platform can do, what it can't do, and maintaining its presence in the broader conversation.
• When new functionality is deployed, immediately and assertively engaging with users and stakeholders to ensure they know how it works and what it's supposed to achieve.

Technical

• Assisting the rest of the team in testing new functionality and providing an additional point of view on matters of UX.
• Understanding the backend of our platform, and especially being aware of where the limit is in terms of what we can reasonably do.
