Head of Data

As the Head of Data, you will define the target architecture, data products, and governance framework that support our strategic commercial goals across planning, trading, finance, and client delivery. You will govern the sourcing, contracting, integration, and application of audience data, developing a robust and privacy-safe methodology for matching audiences to inventory with POI context. Your responsibilities will also include owning schemas, reference data, mappings, and feature flags for our internal platforms, implementing change control, lineage, SLAs, data contracts, and observability to ensure our platforms remain commercially effective and scalable. You will be hands-on in data science, allocating time to model prototyping (forecasting, optimization, reach/footfall/brand-lift), method validation, and mentoring, with a focus on applications that support our commercial planning and growth. Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with teams across Finance, Commercial, Planning, and Legal/Privacy to deliver measurable impact while maintaining compliance and auditability. Additionally, you will partner with Finance and Commercial teams to provide a single, trusted view of revenue, cost, and margin, produce multi-year trend analyses, surface global versus regional performance, and identify growth opportunities unlocked by data.
