We’re On the Beach! Since 2003, we've been rewriting the rules of how people discover, book, and experience their perfect getaway. What started as connecting people to short-haul beach holidays has evolved into something much bigger - premium beach destinations, long-haul adventures, and vibrant city breaks – and that’s just the beginning of our story.

We send around two million holidaymakers on their dream breaks every year. And we're still growing.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Data Delivery Manager to join our team as an individual contributor, owning and orchestrating the successful delivery of our data initiatives. This is a high-impact role focused on delivery excellence, stakeholder alignment and portfolio coordination.

You’ll sit at the centre of our Data function, partnering closely with Engineering, Analytics, Product and Business stakeholders to ensure we deliver the right outcomes, in the right way, at the right time.

Powered by our deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit, proprietary tech, curiosity and our incredible people, we’re accelerating - delivering best in class technology, the ultimate holiday app, and experiences that keep our customers coming back for more.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience delivering complex data or technology initiatives

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects in agile environments

• A structured, pragmatic approach to delivery and risk management

• Confidence translating between technical and business domains

• Strong organisational skills and comfort managing ambiguity

• Experience using delivery metrics to drive performance

• A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence without authority

What you’ll be doing day to day

Leadership & Stakeholder Alignment

• Act as the primary liaison between Data teams and business stakeholders

• Translate business requirements into clear, actionable technical work

• Communicate constraints, trade-offs and feasibility to non-technical audiences

• Manage stakeholder expectations around scope, timelines and outcomes

• Provide leadership through influence, driving clarity and alignment across teams

• Contribute to long-term roadmap and capacity planning across the Data portfolio

Delivery & Ways of Working

• Lead multiple concurrent data initiatives from inception to deployment

• Manage scope, timelines, risks, dependencies and resource allocation

• Identify and mitigate delivery risks, removing blockers to maintain momentum

• Facilitate agile ceremonies and promote effective ways of working

• Maintain transparent reporting through documentation, dashboards and stakeholder updates

• Track key delivery metrics (e.g. velocity, cycle time, throughput, quality) to drive continuous improvement

• Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and to agreed quality standards

You will be accountable for delivery clarity, predictability and measurable impact across the Data function.

Technical Understanding

• Develop a strong understanding of data engineering concepts, architecture and the data lifecycle

• Work confidently with delivery tooling (e.g. Jira)

• Ensure compliance with data governance, security policies and technical standards

• Oversee third-party tools and partner integrations where required

While not a hands-on engineering role, a solid appreciation of modern data platforms and engineering practices is essential.
