Key responsibilities & impact

Driving the Migration: Take full ownership of the end-to-end migration from Snowflake to BigQuery. You’ll coordinate with our external partner and internal data engineers and analysts to ensure schemas, pipelines, and historical data move accurately and on schedule.
Third-Party Orchestration: Act as the primary point of contact and driver for our external delivery partner. You will hold them accountable to milestones, manage the statement of work (SOW), and ensure their output aligns with carwow’s architectural standards and quality standards.
Looker Implementation: Lead the rollout of Looker. This includes managing the transition from legacy reporting, overseeing LookML development cycles, and driving user adoption across our UK, German, and Spanish markets.
Stakeholder Navigation: Act as the bridge between the technical Data team and business stakeholders (Marketing, Product, Commercial). You’ll manage expectations, communicate progress, and ensure the "new" data world meets their "real-world" needs.
Risk & Resource Management: Identify potential roadblocks—from data parity issues to API bottlenecks—and solve them before they stall the engine.
Agile Delivery: Bring structure to the chaos. You’ll run stand-ups, manage the project backlog, and keep us "Road Trip Ready" by ensuring documentation and processes are clear for the long haul.

What you’ll need

Proven Track Record: You’ve successfully managed complex cloud data migrations (ideally Snowflake to BigQuery/GCP).
External Partner Management: You have experience steering 3rd party consultancies or delivery partners. You know how to manage an SOW, keep external teams aligned with internal culture, and aren't afraid to have candid conversations to keep a project on track.
BI Expertise: You have experience implementing or managing Looker rollouts. You understand how LookML works and why data governance matters.
Technical Fluency: You can speak "Data" fluently. You don’t need to write the SQL, but you understand the difference between ELT and ETL and can challenge technical timelines effectively.
Operational Excellence: You are highly organised and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
Autonomy: You are "Fearless at the Wheel." We don't micromanage; we expect you to identify what needs to be done and drive it to completion.
