Let us tell you more about the opportunity

We’re hiring a Head of Data \& MI to build and own the engine room for Motor \- creating a single source of truth, establishing strong governance, and turning data into insight our leadership team can truly rely on.

This role has real scope and authority.

If you’re an experienced, hands\-on data leader who wants high visibility and influence, genuine ownership and impact, this is a rare opportunity to build something properly and make it count.
