We are looking for an experienced Software Delivery Manager / Agile Delivery Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of data-driven products within a fast-paced, data-centric environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in SaaS or subscription-based businesses, where products are built around data, analytics, and insights, and where delivery decisions are driven by metrics and performance.

The Role

You will take full ownership of delivering a data-focused product or platform, working closely with cross-functional teams including engineering, data engineering, and analytics.

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role requiring a strong understanding of how data flows through systems, combined with the ability to use metrics and reporting to drive outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end delivery of data products and platforms

Lead Agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban), ensuring predictable and high-quality outcomes

Work closely with engineers, data engineers, and analysts to deliver scalable data solutions

Drive delivery performance using data, reporting, and KPIs

Oversee data pipelines (ETL), reporting layers, and dashboards

Track and optimise delivery metrics such as velocity, cycle time, lead time, and throughput

Ensure alignment between business goals, product outcomes, and delivery execution

Provide visibility to stakeholders through clear reporting and insight-driven updates

Required Experience

Proven experience as a Delivery Manager / Agile Delivery Manager within data-driven or SaaS environments

Strong understanding of data products, analytics platforms, or insight-led solutions

Experience working with cross-functional technical teams (engineering, data, analytics)

Solid knowledge of data pipelines (ETL), dashboards, and reporting frameworks

Experience using delivery and product metrics to drive decision-making

Background in mid-sized (mid-market) organisations, with broad ownership across delivery

Technical & Data Capability (Essential)

Candidates must be able to demonstrate hands-on familiarity with data environments, including:

Tools: Python, SQL, Tableau/Power BI (or similar)

Data concepts: ETL pipelines, data modelling, reporting layers

Metrics: Accuracy, latency, completeness, recall/precision (where relevant)

Ability to confidently interpret and challenge data to inform delivery decisions

We are specifically looking for someone who can clearly demonstrate:

How they measure performance

What tools they use

How they report insights

Why Join

Work on data-centric products that directly drive business value

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data engineering hiring over the next three years — Spark, dbt, lakehouse and AI. Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
