You will operate across two core data ecosystems, spanning Azure with Databricks and AWS with its native services, ensuring governance is consistent in principle while pragmatic in implementation. A key aspect of the role will be engaging senior stakeholders across technology, data, risk, information security and the business to drive adoption, embed accountability and create genuine cultural change in how data is managed and valued.

• Business Intelligence - starting with the data at source, delivering actionable data visualisations to make Nest's data intuitive to understand
• Customer insight - putting our customers at the heart of Nest - understanding their needs through qual and quant research, surveys, and digital insight
• Data - planning and delivering how we manage quantity, quality, availability of key datasets as an enterprise, making it easy for BI, analysis and modelling operate and be automated
• Data strategy - working on Nest's data literacy, data governance, and a strategy for how we can all collaborate to make our data a really useful shared asset for Nest, underpinning our decisions
