Group Data Manager (Purever) at Ardmac in Madrid, MD, ES.
This Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth.
Key Responsibilities
Data Strategy & Architecture Define and own the Group's target data architecture on Microsoft Fabric (lakehouse / medallion patterns, data pipelines, semantic models), while keeping the design open to other platforms and technologies where they genuinely serve the Group better. Personally build and maintain core Fabric artefacts - pipelines, lakehouse structures, semantic models, reports - in addition to specifying them for vendors and future team members; today there is no delivery team to delegate to. Lead the migration path away from legacy, on-premise, single-vendor data setups towards a scalable, governed, cloud-native architecture. Act as the data voice on the Group's Architecture Review Board, ensuring every AI and data initiative across the Group aligns to a single architectural direction rather than fragmenting into local solutions.
Data Governance & Compliance
Stand up the Group's first formal data governance framework: data catalog, data quality rules, ownership and stewardship model (RACI), naming conventions, and change/version control for data assets. Own the Group Master Data programme (chart of accounts, cost centres, customers, products) that today blocks reliable cross-entity reporting. Ensure data practices meet GDPR and local data-protection requirements across all jurisdictions the Group operates in, working closely with local IT and legal/DPO functions.
Helix Platform Leadership
Take executive ownership of Helix, the Group's Fabric-based data platform programme, from its current early-stage footing through to a mature, governed, multi-domain reporting and analytics platform. Own the programme roadmap, budget and prioritisation, balancing the Finance function's near-term reporting needs against the longer-term architectural foundation the Group needs. Define and enforce a group-first princip
