Job Description

JOB TITLE: Platform Data Lead - Homes

LOCATION: Leeds or Halifax

HOURS: Full-time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

You’ll lead the data management agenda for one of the largest mortgage data estates in Europe, playing a pivotal role in transforming how data is governed, managed and used to unlock real business value for customers.

Sitting within the Homes Platform, you’ll work at the intersection of technology, data and the mortgage business, providing clear leadership for platform data. You’ll act as the key point of connection between the Homes Platform, central data teams and senior business partners, ensuring strong alignment to enterprise standards while shaping solutions that genuinely work for the business.

You’ll set and own a clear, actionable data strategy for the Homes Platform, building understanding and buy‑in across technology and business leaders. You’ll be a visible leader, representing Homes into central data forums and influencing how enterprise data capabilities are shaped and adopted. You’ll stay on top of data issues and risks across the platform, providing clarity, maintaining strong resolution plans and driving issues through to closure.

You’ll lead Data Side of Change activity, ensuring data impacts are identified early and quality is designed in before change lands. Just as importantly, you’ll tell a compelling data story, clearly articulating where the platform is on its data journey, what’s improving, and where focus is needed next.

We’re transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and technology to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.
